| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a workaround for invalid bluetooth SPROM settings on ASUS PCI cards. This will stop the microcode from poking with the BT GPIO line. This fixes data transmission on this device, as the BT GPIO line is used for something TX related on this device (probably the power amplifier or the radio). This also adds a modparam knob to help debugging this in the future, as more devices with this bug may show up. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W.

* | PM: Remove destroy_suspended_device()Rafael J. Wysocki2008-04-191-4/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After 2.6.24 there was a plan to make the PM core acquire all device semaphores during a suspend/hibernation to protect itself from concurrent operations involving device objects. That proved to be too heavy-handed and we found a better way to achieve the goal, but before it happened, we had introduced the functions device_pm_schedule_removal() and destroy_suspended_device() to allow drivers to "safely" destroy a suspended device and we had adapted some drivers to use them. Now that these functions are no longer necessary, it seems reasonable to remove them and modify their users to use the normal device unregistration instead. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* b43: Add fastpath to b43_mac_suspend()Michael Buesch2008-04-161-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a fastpath for the common workloads to the MAC suspend flushing. In common workloads the FIFO flush will take between 100 and 200 microseconds. So we want to avoid calling msleep() in the common case, as it will waste over 800 microseconds + scheduler overhead. This fastpath will hit in workloads where only small chunks of data are transmitted (downloading a file) or when a TX rate bigger or equal to 24MBit/s is used when transmitting lots of stuff (iperf). So in the commonly used workloads it will basically always hit. In case the fastpath is not hit, there's no real performance or latency disadvantage from that. And yes, I measured this. So this is not one of these bad Programmer Likeliness Assumptions that are always wrong. ;) Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* b43: Add PIO support for PCMCIA devicesMichael Buesch2008-04-081-6/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds PIO support back (D'oh!) for PCMCIA devices. This is a complete rewrite of the old PIO code. It does actually work and we get reasonable performance out of it on a modern machine. On a PowerBook G4 I get a few MBit for TX and a few more for RX. So it doesn't work as well as DMA (of course), but it's a _lot_ faster than the old PIO code (only got a few kBit with that). The limiting factor is the host CPU speed. So it will generate 100% CPU usage when the network interface is heavily loaded. A voluntary preemption point in the RX path makes sure Desktop Latency isn't hurt. PIO is needed for 16bit PCMCIA devices, as we really don't want to poke with the braindead DMA mechanisms on PCMCIA sockets. Additionally, not all PCMCIA sockets do actually support DMA in 16bit mode (mine doesn't). Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* | cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversionJohannes Berg2008-02-291-59/+60
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 adds printk messages with basic information about the driver being loaded. This information includes a summary of the compiled-in features, which simplifies bug-reporting and debugging a lot. Also a firmware ID is printed. This is a unique identifier blob for a specific version of the firmware. This ID is attached to a specific version of the firmware blob in b43-fwcutter (see fwcutter git). This helps users to select the right firmware for their device. This also makes it possible to use automated scripts to fetch and extract the right firmware for the driver. (the script will grep the .ko for the "Firmware-ID: xxx" string. While the driver might still support other versions of the firmware for backward compatibility, this will always print out the officially supported version, which people _should_ use.

* b43: Fix MAC control and microcode initMichael Buesch2008-01-281-13/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This zeros out all microcode related memory before loading the microcode. This also fixes initialization of the MAC control register. The _only_ place where we overwrite the contents of the MAC control register is at the beginning of b43_chip_init(). All other places must do read() -> mask/set -> write() to not overwrite existing bits. This also adds a longer delay for waiting for the microcode to initialize itself. It seems that the current timeout is sufficient on all available devices, but there's no real reason why we shouldn't wait for up to one second. Slow embedded devices might exist.
