mac80211: implement support for 4-address frames for AP and client mode

In some situations it might be useful to run a network with an
Access Point and multiple clients, but with each client bridged
to a network behind it. For this to work, both the client and the
AP need to transmit 4-address frames, containing both source and
destination MAC addresses.
With this patch, you can configure a client to communicate using
only 4-address frames for data traffic.
On the AP side you can enable 4-address frames for individual
clients by isolating them in separate AP VLANs which are configured
in 4-address mode.
Such an AP VLAN will be limited to one client only, and this client
will be used as the destination for all traffic on its interface,
regardless of the destination MAC address in the packet headers.
The advantage of this mode compared to regular WDS mode is that it's
easier to configure and does not require a static list of peer MAC
addresses on any side.

iwlagn: update write pointers in iwl_irq_tasklet()

patch changed iwl_irq_tasklet_legacy(), but not iwl_irq_tasklet(), so
newer devices were not covered.

Comments from original patch:

Wakeup interrupt has been updating write pointers (indexes, actually) only
for tx queues 0-5.  This is adequate just for 3945, but inadequate for other
devices, all of which have more tx queues.  Now updating all tx/command queues,
so device can be aware of all new tx and host commands enqueued while
device was asleep.

This can potentially improve data traffic bandwidth and/or latency.

14 years agoiwlwifi: Use RTS/CTS as the preferred protection mechanism for 6000 series
Wey-Yi Guy [Fri, 6 Nov 2009 23:17:04 +0000 (15:17 -0800)]
iwlwifi: Use RTS/CTS as the preferred protection mechanism for 6000 series

When 802.11g was introduced, we had RTS/CTS and CTS-to-Self protection
mechanisms. In an HT Beacon, HT stations use the "Operating Mode" field
in the HT Information Element to determine whether or not to use
protection.

The Operating Mode field has 4 possible settings: 0-3:
Mode 0: If all stations in the BSS are 20/40 MHz HT capable, or if the
BSS is 20/40 MHz capable, or if all stations in the BSS are 20 MHz HT
stations in a 20 MHz BSS
Mode 1: used if there are non-HT stations or APs using the primary or
secondary channels
Mode 2: if only HT stations are associated in the BSS and at least one
20 MHz HT station is associated.
Mode 3: used if one or more non-HT stations are associated in the BSS.

When in operating modes 1 or 3, and the Use_Protection field is 1 in the
Beacon's ERP IE, all HT transmissions must be protected using RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-Self.

By default, CTS-to-self is the preferred protection mechanism for less
overhead and higher throughput; but using the full RTS/CTS will better
protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in
highly-congested environment.

For 6000 series WIFI NIC, RTS/CTS protection mechanism is the
recommended choice for HT traffic based on the HW design.
