80c58504d7 This patch cleans up the VAP creation API.
The need to use software instead of hardware for beacon timers in AP+STA mode (aka nosbeacon) is now just determined in software, as we always knew whether or not to enable this.

The confusing bssid and -bssid parameters are now deprecated.

The "uniquebssid" flag is equivalent to "bssid" and can be used to force IEEE80211_CLONE_BSSID flag.  If this is not specified, then the BSSID used will be the next unused BSSID in the sequence, which could very well be the parent device's MAC address.

"uniquebssid" equates directly to IEEE80211_CLONE_BSSID" flag therefore.

b1a451321f The SIOCGATHDIAG ioctl tries to overlay a new struct defintion (struct ath_diag) onto the struct ifreq. Unfortunately, this structure appears to be too large on 64-bit platforms due to a larger pointer size; the technique may also suffer other problems.
Remove the old SIOCGATHDIAG ioctl (return -EOPNOTSUPP), and add a new ioctl (SIOCGATHHALDIAG) that passes the struct through ifr_data. Also, return -EOPNOTSUPP for unknown IOCTL numbers.

Incidently, I can't find anything that actually uses the old IOCTL.

7d5824e65c In some situations have the hardware PHY calibrations synchronised with beacon sending. There is a greater chance that the mediuim will be quiet during this time, which appears to imporive calibration results.
This patch differs from the original in that beacon synchronised calibration is not condifured during CAC as no beacons are sent.
Thanks to nbd.

ebc79fce38 Cleanup up de-MIC failure (in hardware) handling. Apparently, HW sometimes gets this wrong and spuriusly fails valid packets. In all cases, the packets are dropped, but we do extra processing to record statistics correctly.
This changeset adds a node statistic. If this is not liked, I encourage it to be fixed; I might learn something.
Thanks nbd.

c7fba7a6ce This is a HACK.
With 0.9.30.13 ANI control appears to be broken. ANI is designed only for client (STA/AHDEMO) only mode. This function updates the data used for ANI, so we will only call it for client only mode. This may will not affect ANI problems in client only mode.

4d5de4b5a2 This patch adds iwpriv values for setting the
time in ms, or the number of beacons for the
beacon miss alarm.  If we haven't had a beacon
in this period, the alarm is sounded and 
action (i.e. roaming) is taken.

This patch changes the storage of the beacon
miss threshold to integral beacon count but 
corrects the previous intent.

The default beacon miss alarm is going to be
850ms which is half way between the two hard
coded limits that were there before.

The old hard coded limits assumed that the
beacon interval was 100ms and set the limit to
10 (1000ms) for software beacon miss timer 
and 7 for hardware beacon miss timer.

The new default is 850ms (the midpoint between
the two previous defaults).  This value is rounded
up to the next nearest beacon interval.

There is no upper bound on the beacon miss
threshold specified, since it may need to be
wildly inflated with 25ms beacon interval, or
wildly reduced with 1000ms beacon interval.

The minimum is still 2 beacons, regardless of
the beacon interval.

6fbbcf00a0 This patch makes some debug messages about
dropped frames a little more consistent and
fixes an issue in hardstart where I was being
too aggressive about requeing.

I thought the slab allocator would stop handing
out skbuff instances before the system was out
of free memory based upon some kind of limit on
the number of buffers, but this was nonsense.

Therefore, it is NOT a good idea to requeue
when skb allocation fails because this pretty
much basically means we are out of free memory.

Keeping the packets we do not have the RAM to
send and then stopping the transmit queue has
very bad side effects under low/zero memory 
conditions.  

Symptoms may include OOM killer and panics,
among other things.

It's better to drop tx packets when there's no
more RAM than to lock all the tx packets up
in the transmit queue.  Even if more skb
become freed up in the slab cache due to 
transmissions already in progress, evil things
still happen.

8041aa65bc in ath_intr, we will need HW TSF value if we get
HAL_INT_RX, HAL_INT_RXPHY, or HAL_INT_SWBA.  In
such cases, we will collect the earliest hw tsf
sample we can get and this is passed into send_beacon
and the trigger processing helper functions.

This cuts the number of hardware TSF reads by a 
factor of three per interrupt.  We should be reading
the hardware TSF now once on interrupt entry, and 
once in the second part of trigger processing when
we correct for hardware TSF rollover.
