# 297048 19-Mar-2016 adrian

[net80211] Add VHT Transmit Power Envelope element - 802.11ac-2013 8.4.2.164

# 297008 18-Mar-2016 adrian

[net80211] IE 127 is not MESHEXTCAP, just EXTCAP.

Do not check sequence number for QoS Null frames; set it for generated QoS Null
frames to 0

From IEEE Std. 802.11-2012, 8.3.2.1 "Data frame format", p. 415 (513):
"The Sequence Control field for QoS (+)Null frames is ignored by the receiver
upon reception."

At this moment, any <mode>_input() function interprets them as regular QoS data
frames with TID = 0. As a result, stations, that use another TX sequence for
QoS Null frames (e.g. wpi(4), where (QoS) Null frames are generated by the
firmware), may experience significant packet loss with any other NIC in hostap
mode.

Tested:

* wpi(4) (author)
* iwn(4) - Intel 5100, STA mode (me)

# 260444 08-Jan-2014 kevlo

Rename definition of IEEE80211_FC1_WEP to IEEE80211_FC1_PROTECTED.

The origin of WEP comes from IEEE Std 802.11-1997 where it defines
whether the frame body of MAC frame has been encrypted using WEP
algorithm or not.
IEEE Std. 802.11-2007 changes WEP to Protected Frame, indicates
whether the frame is protected by a cryptographic encapsulation
algorithm.

# 195618 11-Jul-2009 rpaulo

Implementation of the upcoming Wireless Mesh standard, 802.11s, on the
net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft
standard. This standard is expected to become final next year.
This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c
which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation,
routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c
which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network.
HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but
others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented.

Authentication and encryption are not implemented.

There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be
used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you
how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create
wlandev ... wlanmode mesh).

A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled
by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98.

Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl.

More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh

Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that
bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported.

Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to
Sam Leffler for his support.
Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a
Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

Update 802.11 wireless support:
o major overhaul of the way channels are handled: channels are now
fully enumerated and uniquely identify the operating characteristics;
these changes are visible to user applications which require changes
o make scanning support independent of the state machine to enable
background scanning and roaming
o move scanning support into loadable modules based on the operating
mode to enable different policies and reduce the memory footprint
on systems w/ constrained resources
o add background scanning in station mode (no support for adhoc/ibss
mode yet)
o significantly speedup sta mode scanning with a variety of techniques
o add roaming support when background scanning is supported; for now
we use a simple algorithm to trigger a roam: we threshold the rssi
and tx rate, if either drops too low we try to roam to a new ap
o add tx fragmentation support
o add first cut at 802.11n support: this code works with forthcoming
drivers but is incomplete; it's included now to establish a baseline
for other drivers to be developed and for user applications
o adjust max_linkhdr et. al. to reflect 802.11 requirements; this eliminates
prepending mbufs for traffic generated locally
o add support for Atheros protocol extensions; mainly the fast frames
encapsulation (note this can be used with any card that can tx+rx
large frames correctly)
o add sta support for ap's that beacon both WPA1+2 support
o change all data types from bsd-style to posix-style
o propagate noise floor data from drivers to net80211 and on to user apps
o correct various issues in the sta mode state machine related to handling
authentication and association failures
o enable the addition of sta mode power save support for drivers that need
net80211 support (not in this commit)
o remove old WI compatibility ioctls (wicontrol is officially dead)
o change the data structures returned for get sta info and get scan
results so future additions will not break user apps
o fixed tx rate is now maintained internally as an ieee rate and not an
index into the rate set; this needs to be extended to deal with
multi-mode operation
o add extended channel specifications to radiotap to enable 11n sniffing

o ath: add support for bg scanning, tx fragmentation, fast frames,
dynamic turbo (lightly tested), 11n (sniffing only and needs

o awi: compile tested only
o ndis: lightly tested
o ipw: lightly tested

bump copyright for 2005


# 138568 08-Dec-2004 sam

Update 802.11 support; too much new functionality to fully describe
here but it includes completed 802.11g, WPA, 802.11i, 802.1x, WME/WMM,
AP-side power-save, crypto plugin framework, authenticator plugin framework,
and access control plugin frameowrk.


# 127903 05-Apr-2004 sam

add definitions for WME, WPA (and WPA2), and miscellaneous other stuff
that's coming soon

# 124457 13-Jan-2004 sam

Handle SIOCSIFMTU ioctl directly so we can apply 802.11-specific bounds.
Note that the min is actually constrained to IF_MINMTU by the if layer.


# 120098 15-Sep-2003 sam

add definitions for various control frames and a minimum-sized frame that
we use to define IEEE80211_MIN_LEN; the minimal length for frames drivers
may pass up into the 802.11 layer

# 116742 23-Jun-2003 sam

new 802.11 layer:

o code reorg (relative to old netbsd-derived code) for future growth
o drivers now specify available channels and rates and 802.11 layer handles
almost all ifmedia actions
o multi-mode support for 11a/b/g devices
o 11g protocol additions (incomplete)
o new element id additions (for other than 11g)
o node/station table redone for proper locking and to eliminate driver
incestuousness
o split device flags and capabilities to reduce confusion and provide room
for expansion
o incomplete power management infrastructure (need to revisit)
o incomplete hooks for software retry
o more...
