Subject: [0/5] Improvements to the ieee80211 layer

The ieee80211 layer, now present in -mm, lacks many important features
(actually it's just a part of the ipw2100/ipw2200 driver; these cards do
a lot of the processing in the hardware/firmware and thus the layer
currently can not be used for simpler devices).

This is the first series of patches that try to convert it to a generic
IEEE 802.11 layer, usable for most of today's wireless cards.

The long term plan is:
- to implement a complete 802.11 stack in the kernel, making it easy to
write drivers for simple (cheap) devices
- to implement all of Ad-Hoc, AP and monitor modes in the layer, so it
will be easy to support them in the drivers
- to integrate Wireless Extensions to unify the kernel-userspace
interface of all the drivers

This means that drivers for "stupid" (simple, cheap) cards should be
very short and easy to write, whereas drivers for "clever" cards will be
longer (but still shorter than they are now).

We have a couple of cards for testing, and we gradually modify the
drivers for ipw2100 and ipw2200 with the development of the layer. When
the layer is mature enough for the "stupid" cards, we will rewrite the
driver for Atheros-based cards to use this layer. We plan to send all
the patches for these drivers to the netdev list. Of course, we are in
close contact with Pavel Machek, who is pushing the ipw2100 driver
upstream.

Any comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Subject: [2/5] ieee80211: ieee80211_device alignment fix and cleanup

Changes to the ieee80211 layer:
- fixes a serious alignment problem of the driver's private data
- makes the drivers use the ieee80211_device instead of the net_device where
appropriate (will ease further development of ieee80211 as a self-contained
layer)

Are they against -rc4-mm2?

Would it be possible to put agregate patch on the web somewhere (or
git tree?). I would certainly be easier to test....

Do you just clean up current ieee80211 code to still do 802.11 <-> 802.3
conversion inside the driver or you plan to handle real 802.11 frames in
the stack like this?

You'll want to run this one by DaveM. He would be the appropriate one
to merge this, since it affects all ethernet devices (net/ethernet/eth.c
uses HH_DATA_OFF macro).

I'm going over the rest of the ieee80211/ipw patches...

Agreed.

Great!

I'm interesting in writing a RealTek driver using ieee80211. As the
ieee80211 layer matures, I'll start publishing that code.

Comments on the remaining patches in this series:

1) I am not convinced that the subclassing of net_device should be done
in this manner. Read drivers/net/wan/hdlc_generic.c and .../pc300_drv.c
for examples of how hdlc_device is handled.

Comments and thoughts welcome.


2) Please put all the new, protocol-layer functions
ieee80211_type_trans(), ieee80211_change_mtu(), ieee80211_header(), etc.
in their own file.


3) Temporary or not, the following construct is simply not necessary.
Modify the definition rather than repeating this two-call piece of code
in multiple areas:

ieee80211_priv(netdev_priv(dev));


4) A low-level wireless hardware driver should look like other net
drivers, and use the existing driver API. The low level driver should
implement its own dev->hard_start_xmit().

ieee = netdev_priv(dev);
- dev->hard_start_xmit = ieee80211_xmit;
-
ieee->dev = dev;
+ ieee->priv = ieee80211_priv(ieee);
+
+ dev->hard_start_xmit = ieee80211_xmit;

Certainly, the driver will make many calls to generic ieee80211_xxx
functions to get things done.

I understand this was not your change; you simply moved the
dev->hard_start_xmit() assignment down. I just wanted to take this
opportunity to make a point.


5) The wireless code in -mm all sourced directly from my netdev-2.6.git
tree. I strongly encourage everyone who wants to work on wireless to
download git (read http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/5/26/11) and check out
branches 'we18' (wireless ex 18), 'we18-ieee80211' (we18 + ieee80211),
and 'we18-ieee80211-wifi' (we18 + ieee80211 + hostAP) of
