This patch fixes a data alignment issue in the zd1211rw driver.
The IEEE80211_STYPE_QOS_DATA bit should be used as a bitwise test
to test for the presence of the 2 byte QoS control field.

The previously unused CR_CAM_MODE register is set to MODE_AP_WDS. This makes the
driver ack mesh (WDS) frames. It does not affect Infra functionality of the
driver.
Previously missing beaconing support has been added. This might also help
implement a currently missing ah-hoc mode.
Support for interrupts from the device have been added, but we are not handling
most of them.
Mesh interfaces are considered associated as long as the interface is up.

We must not clear the FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC bit in the
new_flags. The zd-driver does support sending beacons and
probe responses to the host. What the flag does is say "Send me
all beacons and probe responses". And we actually do that. We always
do that, so we ignore the case when the bit is disabled. But that is
fine. But we must not clear the flag, as that tells mac80211 that
we do not support passing beacons and probe responses to the stack.
And that's not true.

This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k)
are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
can be done.
Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
much required for travelling.
Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
the BSS conf stuff.
I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

This patch (based on Ron Rindjunsky's) creates a framework for
a unified way to pass BSS configuration to drivers that require
the information, e.g. for implementing power save mode.
This patch introduces new ieee80211_bss_conf structure that is
passed to the driver via the new bss_info_changed() callback
when the BSS configuration changes.
This new BSS configuration infrastructure adds the following
new features:
* drivers are notified of their association AID
* drivers are notified of association status
and replaces the erp_ie_changed() callback. The patch also does
the relevant driver updates for the latter change.

This patch gets rid of the if_id stuff where possible in favour of
a new per-virtual-interface structure "struct ieee80211_vif". This
structure is located at the end of the per-interface structure and
contains a variable length driver-use data area.
This has two advantages:
* removes the need to look up interfaces by if_id, this is better
for working with network namespaces and performance
* allows drivers to store and retrieve per-interface data without
having to allocate own lists/hash tables

Shaddy Baddah found an alignment problem with zd1211rw driver at
2007-11-19. This patch fixes it, it is based on the patch proposed by
Herbert Xu. The alignment 4 has been the agreed value on the
linux-wireless mailing list.
Notify that the problem does only affect the old zd1211rw softmac
driver and not the zd1211rw-mac80211 driver. Daniel Drake has
already provided a patch for the replacement of the softmac
driver, which this patch will break.

As pointed out by Daniel Drake, the zd1211rw driver used several
different rate values and names throughout the driver. He has
written a patch to change it and tweaked it after some pretty wild
ideas from my side. But the discussion helped me to understand the
problem better and I think I have nailed it down with this patch.
A zd-rate will consist from now on of a four-bit "pure" rate value
and a modulation type flag as used in the ZD1211 control set used
for packet transmission. This is consistent with the usage in the
zd_rates table. If possible these zd-rates should be used in the
code.

While in monitor mode the zd1211rw received only a limited
set of packets. This patch forwards now all packets the device
receives. Notify that while monitoring no FCS checks are done; so
strange packets might appear in the network sniffer of your
choice.
ATTENTION: Support for multiple interfaces on a single ZD1211
device is currently broken. So this code works only on the first
interface.
Here is an example to put the device in monitor mode.
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 channel 10

While playing with the firmware a while back, I discovered a way to
access the device's entire address space before the firmware has been
loaded.
Previously we were loading the firmware early on (during probe) so that
we could read the MAC address from the EEPROM and register a netdevice.
Now that we can read the EEPROM without having firmware, we can defer
firmware loading until later while still reading the MAC address early
on.
This has the advantage that zd1211rw can now be built into the kernel --
previously if this was the case, zd1211rw would be loaded before the
filesystem is available and firmware loading would fail.
Firmware load and other device initialization operations now happen the
first time the interface is brought up.
Some architectural changes were needed: handling of the is_zd1211b flag
was moved into the zd_usb structure, MAC address handling was obviously
changed, and a preinit_hw stage was added (the order is now: init,
preinit_hw, init_hw).

Zen Kato's device has a regulatory domain value of 0x49, which is not an
IEEE 802.11 code and is not even identified in the vendor driver.
Recent versions of the vendor driver don't even look at the regdomain
value any more, and just allow channels 1-11 everywhere. This patch
brings us more in line with that behaviour, by allowing channels 1-11
for regdomains which we don't know about.

zd1211rw's support for IW_FREQ_AUTO is broken: when specified, the driver
tries to change to a channel specified in an uninitialized integer. As
IW_FREQ_AUTO is hard to implement properly, the solution (at least for now)
is to drop support for it and start ignoring the flags like all other wireless
drivers do.
This has the added advantage that kismet also starts working with zd1211rw,
even though kismet requesting IW_FREQ_AUTO is also a bug (fixed in their svn)

This patch includes a big cleanup of the existing unused LED code,
and adds support for controlling the LED.
The link LED will blink if the device is not associated. The LED
switches between 2 seconds on and 1 second off. If the device is

The link LED also indicates packet TX. I do a little bit more led

Add static to 2 internal functions. Thanks goes to Adrian Bunk, who found that.
Also made some modifications to the clear functions:
After a discussion on the mailing list, I implemented this code to
have on the one hand sufficient test in debug mode, but on the
other hand reduce the overhead for structure clearing to a
minimum.
A new macro ZD_MEMCLEAR is introduced, which produces code if
DEBUG is set. Locks are not set anymore for structure clearing,
but in debug mode, there is a verification, that the locks have
not been set.
Finally, removed a misleading comment regarding locking in the disconnect

There are 60+ USB wifi adapters available on the market based on the ZyDAS
ZD1211 chip.
Unlike the predecessor (ZD1201), ZD1211 does not have a hardware MAC, so most
data operations are coordinated by the device driver. The ZD1211 chip sits
alongside an RF transceiver which is also controlled by the driver. Our driver
currently supports 2 RF types, we know of one other available in a few marketed
products which we will be supporting soon.
Our driver also supports the newer revision of ZD1211, called ZD1211B. The
initialization and RF operations are slightly different for the new revision,
but the main difference is 802.11e support. Our driver does not support the
QoS features yet, but we think we know how to use them.
This driver is based on ZyDAS's own GPL driver available from www.zydas.com.tw.
ZyDAS engineers have been responsive and supportive of our efforts, so thumbs
up to them. Additionally, the firmware is redistributable and they have
provided device specs.
This driver has been written primarily by Ulrich Kunitz and myself. Graham
Gower, Greg KH, Remco and Bryan Rittmeyer have also contributed. The
developers of ieee80211 and softmac have made our lives so much easier- thanks!
We maintain a small info-page: http://zd1211.ath.cx/wiki/DriverRewrite
If there is enough time for review, we would like to aim for inclusion in
2.6.18. The driver works nicely as a STA, and can connect to both open and
encrypted networks (we are using software-based encryption for now). We will
work towards supporting more advanced features in the future (ad-hoc, master
mode, 802.11a, ...).
