Tomas Winkler 40a9a82991 iwlwifi: clean key table in iwl_clear_stations_table function
This patch cleans uCode key table bit map iwl_clear_stations_table
since all stations are cleared also the key table must be.

Since the keys are not removed properly on suspend by mac80211
this may result in exhausting key table on resume leading
to memory corruption during removal

This patch also fixes a memory corruption problem reported in
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=122641417231586&w=2 and tracked in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12040.

When the key is removed a second time the offset is set to 255 - this
index is not valid for the ucode_key_table and corrupts the eeprom pointer
(which is 255 bits from ucode_key_table).

Emmanuel Grumbach 42eb7c644a iwlwifi: remove HT flags from RXON when not in HT anymore
This patch removes the HT flags from RXON when moving from HT to legacy.
This avoids keeping those flags set and possibly miss configuring firmware.

If we are configured in HT, fat channel: channel 1 above, and move later
to legacy channel 11, we need to clear the FAT channel control flags in
RXON. If we don't, the firmware will understand this as channel 11 above
which is not possible due to regulatory constraints, leading to firmware
crash.

Grumbach, Emmanuel 04816448d8 iwlwifi: use the results from disconnected antenna algorithm
This patch makes usage of the results from disconnected antenna alg to
know how many antennas are connected.

It also synchronizes between the chain noise alg and the W/A that
disables power management during association. All the antennas must be
enables during the chain noise algorithm. Hence, power management is
restored only after the completion of the algorithm.

In the future, we will need to update the AP that we don't support MIMO
if there is only one antenna connected. We also need to update the rate
scaling algorithm.

Luis R. Rodriguez f59ac04816 cfg80211: keep track of supported interface modes
It is obviously good for userspace to know up front which
interface modes a given piece of hardware might support (even
if adding such an interface might fail later because of
concurrency issues), so let's make cfg80211 aware of that.
For good measure, disallow adding interfaces in all other
modes so drivers don't forget to announce support for one mode
when they add it.

Emmanuel Grumbach 4b8817b2a0 iwlwifi: remove useless network and duplicate checking
The iwlwifi drivers go to great lengths to avoid passing packets to
mac80211 they think shouldn't go there, while mac80211 can (of course!)
handle them very well.

Especially in the case of duplicate packets this is interesting
because it's such a performance hog (especially for IBSS networks)
while mac80211 does that work on the side without much effort.

This patch removes all that and leaves only what is absolutely
necessary for the hardware.

It also changes the RXON flow to make usage of this new handler.

The patch also adds iwl_rxon_cmd structure which is supperset for
5000 HW and 4965.

Bruno Randolf 566bfe5a8b mac80211: use hardware flags for signal/noise units
trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.

this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.

for signal:

  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB     - dB difference to unspecified reference point
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM    - dBm, difference to 1mW

for noise we currently only have dBm:

  IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM     - dBm, difference to 1mW

if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.

i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.
