Subject: [PATCH 1/3] brcmfmac: set wpa_auth to WPA_AUTH_DISABLED in AP/opensecurity mode

When setting wpa_auth to WPA_AUTH_NONE(1) in AP mode with WEP secuirty,
firmware will set privacy bit and add WPA OUI in VENDOR IE in beacon and
probe response. It confuses the supplicant in sation client by the
security type from softAP beacon and we will see [WPA-?] in scan result.
So we set WPA_AUTH_DISABLED in softAP mode with opensecurity.

Is WPA_AUTH_NONE ok for IBSS mode? Not sure why it is handled
differently. Is it because you do not want to change things for IBSS
mode as you did not try that?

Does this fix a user visible bug? If yes, it would be nice to document
that.

The num_different_channels in wiphy info is not correct when firmware
supports mchan. When mchan is on, num_different_channels is always
overridden to 1 in brcmf_setup_ifmodes. Correct the logic by moving
num_different_channels setting forward.

Could you summarize 4373 features, ie. is it 11n or 11ac? How much
streams does it support? That kind of stuff.

Hi Kalle,

Depends on the users expectation ;-) When the device/firmware supports
multi-channel (better not use mchan abbreviation) it can have P2P
connection and regular connection with AP simultaneous. So the current
state is that this is not possible regardless whether mchan is
supported. So the device is not used to fullest extent.

Arend

"sation"? Also the sentence is a bit unclear.

Space missing between "open" and "security".

Thanks, I understand now and I think your description should be also in
the commit log so that others will also :)

My usual mantra: the commit log should ALWAYS answer the question "_why_
the change is made?" and describe the reason what motivated to implement
the patch. This is the most important part. It helps maintainers,
backports, distros etc to make decisions if the patch is important for
them or not.

I would like to keep WPA_AUTH_NODE for IBSS mode because the comment of
WPA_AUTH_NONE definition in brcmu_wifi.h is "none (IBSS)". It seems that
WPA_AUTH_NONE is for IBSS mode.
