mac80211 is telling drivers, in particular
iwlwifi, whether QoS is enabled or not.
However, this is only relevant for station mode,
since only then will any device send nullfunc
frames and need to know whether they should be
QoS frames or not. In other modes, there are
(currently) no frames the device is supposed to
send.
When you now consider virtual interfaces, it
becomes apparent that the current mechanism is
inadequate since it enables/disables QoS on a
global scale, where for nullfunc frames it has
to be on a per-interface scale.
Due to the above considerations, we can change
the way mac80211 advertises the QoS state to
drivers to only ever advertise it as "off" in
station mode, and make it a per-BSS setting.

ath9k_hw: Fix AR9003 MPDU delimeter CRC check for middle subframes
An A-MPDU may contain several subframes each containing its own
CRC for the data. Each subframe also has a respective CRC for the
MPDU length and 4 reserved bits (aka delimeter CRC). AR9003 will
ACK frames that have a valid data CRC but have failed to pass the
CRC for the MPDU length, if and only if the subframe is not the
last subframe in an A-MPDU and if an OFDM phy OFDM reset error has
been caught. Discarding those subframes results in packet loss under
heavy stress conditions, an example being UDP video. Since the
frames are ACK'd by hardware we need to let these frames through
and process them as valid frames.

ath5k: clean up rxlink handling
There were a few places where the sc->rxlink pointer was set to NULL "just in
case". This helps nothing - quite to the contrary it is problematic since it
can create self-linked rx descriptors in the middle of the list of receive
buffers.
Here is an example how this could happen (thanks Bob!):
cpu 0: cpu 1:
ath5k_rx_stop
ath5k_tasklet_rx
sc->rxlink = NULL; /* just in case */
// following doesn't link used
// buffer to prev.
ath5k_rxbuf_setup()
In the case of ath5k_rx_stop() and ath5k_stop_locked() buffers/descriptors are
not changed so rxlink should not be changed as well.
In ath5k_intr() we seem to try to work around a hardware bug, as the comment
(which is copied 1:1 from the HAL) suggests. I don't see how this could help.
Also the HAL does not set rxlink in this case (So where does this code come
from? It has been there since the first import of ath5k). Changed to just
increment a statistics counter.
After this patch rxlink is only set to NULL before we initialize rx descriptors
and updated when the descriptors are linked together.

This patch is a complete rewrite of the scanning code. It now includes a
state machine to scan all four possible sets of channels independently:
2.4GHz active, 2.4GHz passive, 5GHz active and 5GHz passive. The wl1271
firmware doesn't allow these sets to be mixed, so up to several scan commands
have to be issued. This patch also allows scanning more than 24 channels per
set, by breaking the sets into smaller parts if needed (the firmware can scan
a maximum of 24 channels at a time).
Previously, the scanning code was erroneously scanning all channels possible
actively, not complying with the CRDA values. This is also fixed with this
patch.

The scanning code is going to get a bit more complex, with proper support for
active/passive scans together with 2.4GHz and 5GHz. In the future, also a
new type of scan (periodic scan) will be added. When all this is
implemented, the code is going to be much more complex, so we'd better
separate it into a separate file.
This patch doesn't have any impact on functionality.

wl1271: Disable dynamic PS based on BT co-ext sense events
This patch requests mac80211 to disable dynamic PSM based on sense events
coming from the firmware. Effectively, whenever there is bluetooth traffic,

wl1271: Work around AP's with broken ps-poll functionality
Some AP's (such as Zyxel Prestige 600) have totally broken ps-poll
functionality. When powersave is enabled, these AP's will set the TIM bit for
a STA in beacons, but when the STA responds with a ps-poll, the AP does not
respond with data.
The wl1271 firmware is able to send an indication to the host, when this
problem occurs. This patch adds implementation, which temporarily disables
power-save in response to this indication, allowing the AP to transmit whatever
data it has buffered for the STA / whatever data is inbound at that time.
This patch does not make these AP's work reliably in PSM, but improves the
chances of inbound data getting through.
The side effect of this patch is increased power consumption when using a
faulty AP.

This patch removes the calibration performed on the first join command. The
reasoning is that this is unnecessary as devices get their calibration data
via the NVS file, and because the commands break BT coexistence.
This is actually safe, because of the implementation the calibration
was executed on the first JOIN anyway, after an ifdown/ifup the devices have
relied on the NVS for calibration anyway (== most of the time.)

The current mac80211 code assumes that WEP is always available. If WEP
fails to initialize, ieee80211_register_hw will always fail.
In some cases (e.g. FIPS certification), the cryptography used by WEP is
unavailable. However, in such cases there is no good reason why CCMP
encryption (or even no link level encryption) cannot be used. So, this
patch removes mac80211's assumption that WEP (and TKIP) will always be
available for use.

When there is a firmware error or the firmware is reloaded for some other

The consequence of this is that when the device is reconfigured after the
