Subject: [PATCH 0/12 v2] mac80211/iwlwifi: A-MPDU Tx support
Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2008 14:07:14 +0200
Message-Id: <12015220461052-git-send-email-ron.rindjunsky@intel.com> (sfid-20080128_122525_500166_CFD2E940)
Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org

This series of patches contains implementation for the IEEE802.11n 
aggregated MPDUs (A-MPDU) MLME. The series handles Tx A-MPDU (initiator party).

Please notice:
===============
As patches "cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion"
and "nl80211: export hardware bitrate/channel capabilities" are still unstable,
and cause current code to stop function, this series does not use those patches.

Notes to this series:
======================
This series of patches splits into:
 - patches 1-8 add 802.11n Tx A-MPDU MLME support to mac80211.
 - patches 9-12 demonstrates the use of the above mac80211's MLME through iwl4965 low level driver

The patches in the series should not be treated as stand alone patches,
but as a complete MLME according to IEEE802.11n spec, although separation
to patches by subjects was made for ease of handling.

The patches do _not_ break any existing driver.
Patches were made (and tested to work) with wireless branch 2.6.24-rc8 (#everything),
on top of commit 597d23b88aca15dc4be31f051e06a949fd1a497a.

The MLME framework includes the following:
- A-MPDU MLME (for aggregated Tx per STA/TID)
- addBA request support.
- delBA request support (initiator party).
- qdisc support by STA/TID.
- Tx rate scaling support (block Ack aware)
