# 303344 26-Jul-2016 avos

MFC r303115:

urtwn: fix A-MSDU tx aggregation when encryption is used.

Clear unused (undocumented) CAM bytes while setting a key;
without that, hardware does weird things when A-MSDU bit in QoS header
is set.

Tested with RTL8188CUS (AP) -> RTL8188EU (STA) (A-MSDU transmit).

# 300754 26-May-2016 avos

urtwn, rtwn, rsu: switch to ieee80211_add_channel_list_2ghz().

- Use device's channel list instead of default one (from
ieee80211_init_channels()); adds 12 - 14 2GHz channels.
- Add ic_getradiocaps() method.


# 300433 22-May-2016 avos

urtwn: setup per-frame retry limit.

Override global retry limit (which is set in R92C_RL) via per-frame
TX descriptor field. Obsoletes D3840 (should work better with 2+ vaps).

Tested with RTL8188EU and RTL8192CUS in STA mode (maxretry = [3-9]).


# 298436 21-Apr-2016 avos

urtwn: optimize rate lookup in the urtwn_ra_init()

Replace loop with switch statement (rate2ridx())
(should be noop).

Tested with RTL8188EU / RTL8188CUS, STA mode.

# 297058 20-Mar-2016 adrian

[urtwn] migrate urtwn out into sys/dev/urtwn/ .

There's some upcoming work to add new chipset support here and I'd
like to only add 802.11n support to one driver, instead of both
urtwn and rtwn.

There's also missing support for things like 802.11n, some powersave
work, bluetooth integration/coexistence, etc, and also newer parts
(like 8192EU, maybe some 11ac parts, not sure yet.)

So, this is hopefully the first step in a longer set of steps to unify
rtwn/urtwn and extend it with more interesting chipset and functionality
support.

# 287197 27-Aug-2015 glebius

Replay r286410. Change KPI of how device drivers that provide wireless
connectivity interact with the net80211 stack.

Historical background: originally wireless devices created an interface,
just like Ethernet devices do. Name of an interface matched the name of
the driver that created. Later, wlan(4) layer was introduced, and the
wlanX interfaces become the actual interface, leaving original ones as
"a parent interface" of wlanX. Kernelwise, the KPI between net80211 layer
and a driver became a mix of methods that pass a pointer to struct ifnet
as identifier and methods that pass pointer to struct ieee80211com. From
user point of view, the parent interface just hangs on in the ifconfig
list, and user can't do anything useful with it.

Now, the struct ifnet goes away. The struct ieee80211com is the only
KPI between a device driver and net80211. Details:

- The struct ieee80211com is embedded into drivers softc.
- Packets are sent via new ic_transmit method, which is very much like
the previous if_transmit.
- Bringing parent up/down is done via new ic_parent method, which notifies
driver about any changes: number of wlan(4) interfaces, number of them
in promisc or allmulti state.
- Device specific ioctls (if any) are received on new ic_ioctl method.
- Packets/errors accounting are done by the stack. In certain cases, when
driver experiences errors and can not attribute them to any specific
interface, driver updates ic_oerrors or ic_ierrors counters.

Details on interface configuration with new world order:
- A sequence of commands needed to bring up wireless DOESN"T change.
- /etc/rc.conf parameters DON'T change.
- List of devices that can be used to create wlan(4) interfaces is
now provided by net.wlan.devices sysctl.

Most drivers in this change were converted by me, except of wpi(4),
that was done by Andriy Voskoboinyk. Big thanks to Kevin Lo for testing
changes to at least 8 drivers. Thanks to pluknet@, Oliver Hartmann,
Olivier Cochard, gjb@, mmoll@, op@ and lev@, who also participated in
testing.

Still, drivers: ndis, wtap, mwl, ipw, bwn, wi, upgt, uath were not
tested. Changes to mwl, ipw, bwn, wi, upgt are trivial and chances
of problems are low. The wtap wasn't compilable even before this change.
But the ndis driver is complex, and it is likely to be broken with this
commit. Help with testing and debugging it is appreciated.

Import Kevin Lo's port of urtwn(4) from OpenBSD. urtwn(4) is a driver for the
Realtek RTL8188CU/RTL8192CU USB IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless cards.
This driver requires microcode which is available in FreeBSD ports:
net/urtwn-firmware-kmod.

Hiren ported the urtwn(4) man page from OpenBSD and Glen just commited a port
for the firmware.

TODO:
- 802.11n support
- Stability fixes - the driver can sustain lots of traffic but has trouble
coping with simultaneous iperf sessions.
- fix debugging
