cfg80211: Add new wireless regulatory infrastructure This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution, and to replace the initial centralized code we have where: * only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU * regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter * all rules were built statically in the kernel We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules without updating the kernel. Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to further help compliance. Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of this. For more information see: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter, ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically (US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY. These old static definitions and the module parameter is being scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless. If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory domain for us. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

* @NL80211_CMD_SET_REG: Set current regulatory domain. CRDA sends this command
* after being queried by the kernel. CRDA replies by sending a regulatory
* domain structure which consists of %NL80211_ATTR_REG_ALPHA set to our
* current alpha2 if it found a match. It also provides
* NL80211_ATTR_REG_RULE_FLAGS, and a set of regulatory rules. Each
* regulatory rule is a nested set of attributes given by
* %NL80211_ATTR_REG_RULE_FREQ_[START|END] and
* %NL80211_ATTR_FREQ_RANGE_MAX_BW with an attached power rule given by
* %NL80211_ATTR_REG_RULE_POWER_MAX_ANT_GAIN and
* %NL80211_ATTR_REG_RULE_POWER_MAX_EIRP.
* @NL80211_CMD_REQ_SET_REG: ask the wireless core to set the regulatory domain
* to the the specified ISO/IEC 3166-1 alpha2 country code. The core will
* store this as a valid request and then query userspace for it.
*
* @NL80211_CMD_GET_MESH_PARAMS: Get mesh networking properties for the
* interface identified by %NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX
*
* @NL80211_CMD_SET_MESH_PARAMS: Set mesh networking properties for the
* interface identified by %NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX
*
* @NL80211_CMD_SET_MGMT_EXTRA_IE: Set extra IEs for management frames. The
* interface is identified with %NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX and the management
* frame subtype with %NL80211_ATTR_MGMT_SUBTYPE. The extra IE data to be
* added to the end of the specified management frame is specified with
* %NL80211_ATTR_IE. If the command succeeds, the requested data will be
* added to all specified management frames generated by
* kernel/firmware/driver.
* Note: This command has been removed and it is only reserved at this
* point to avoid re-using existing command number. The functionality this
* command was planned for has been provided with cleaner design with the
* option to specify additional IEs in NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN,
* NL80211_CMD_AUTHENTICATE, NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE,
* NL80211_CMD_DEAUTHENTICATE, and NL80211_CMD_DISASSOCIATE.
*
* @NL80211_CMD_GET_SCAN: get scan results
* @NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN: trigger a new scan with the given parameters
* @NL80211_CMD_NEW_SCAN_RESULTS: scan notification (as a reply to
* NL80211_CMD_GET_SCAN and on the "scan" multicast group)
* @NL80211_CMD_SCAN_ABORTED: scan was aborted, for unspecified reasons,
* partial scan results may be available
*
* @NL80211_CMD_GET_SURVEY: get survey resuls, e.g. channel occupation
* or noise level
* @NL80211_CMD_NEW_SURVEY_RESULTS: survey data notification (as a reply to
* NL80211_CMD_GET_SURVEY and on the "scan" multicast group)
*
* @NL80211_CMD_REG_CHANGE: indicates to userspace the regulatory domain
* has been changed and provides details of the request information
* that caused the change such as who initiated the regulatory request
* (%NL80211_ATTR_REG_INITIATOR), the wiphy_idx
* (%NL80211_ATTR_REG_ALPHA2) on which the request was made from if
* the initiator was %NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_COUNTRY_IE or
* %NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_DRIVER, the type of regulatory domain
* set (%NL80211_ATTR_REG_TYPE), if the type of regulatory domain is
* %NL80211_REG_TYPE_COUNTRY the alpha2 to which we have moved on
* to (%NL80211_ATTR_REG_ALPHA2).
* @NL80211_CMD_REG_BEACON_HINT: indicates to userspace that an AP beacon
* has been found while world roaming thus enabling active scan or
* any mode of operation that initiates TX (beacons) on a channel
* where we would not have been able to do either before. As an example
* if you are world roaming (regulatory domain set to world or if your
* driver is using a custom world roaming regulatory domain) and while
* doing a passive scan on the 5 GHz band you find an AP there (if not
* on a DFS channel) you will now be able to actively scan for that AP
* or use AP mode on your card on that same channel. Note that this will
* never be used for channels 1-11 on the 2 GHz band as they are always
* enabled world wide. This beacon hint is only sent if your device had
* either disabled active scanning or beaconing on a channel. We send to
* userspace the wiphy on which we removed a restriction from
* (%NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY) and the channel on which this occurred
* before (%NL80211_ATTR_FREQ_BEFORE) and after (%NL80211_ATTR_FREQ_AFTER)
* the beacon hint was processed.

nl80211: Add MLME primitives to support external SME This patch adds new nl80211 commands to allow user space to request authentication and association (and also deauthentication and disassociation). The commands are structured to allow separate authentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between kernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE 802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the SME. The patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request, MLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and association commands request the actual operations in two steps (assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect" command). The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state machine from moving automatically from authentication to association. Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211. The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and association process to user space without having to move the full MLME implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant. This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME primitives for handling the FT Action frames).

* @NL80211_CMD_AUTHENTICATE: authentication request and notification.
* This command is used both as a command (request to authenticate) and
* as an event on the "mlme" multicast group indicating completion of the
* authentication process.
* When used as a command, %NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX is used to identify the
* interface. %NL80211_ATTR_MAC is used to specify PeerSTAAddress (and
* BSSID in case of station mode). %NL80211_ATTR_SSID is used to specify
* the SSID (mainly for association, but is included in authentication
* request, too, to help BSS selection. %NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FREQ is used
* to specify the frequence of the channel in MHz. %NL80211_ATTR_AUTH_TYPE
* is used to specify the authentication type. %NL80211_ATTR_IE is used to
* define IEs (VendorSpecificInfo, but also including RSN IE and FT IEs)
* to be added to the frame.
* When used as an event, this reports reception of an Authentication
* frame in station and IBSS modes when the local MLME processed the
* frame, i.e., it was for the local STA and was received in correct
* state. This is similar to MLME-AUTHENTICATE.confirm primitive in the
* MLME SAP interface (kernel providing MLME, userspace SME). The
* included %NL80211_ATTR_FRAME attribute contains the management frame
* (including both the header and frame body, but not FCS). This event is
* also used to indicate if the authentication attempt timed out. In that
* case the %NL80211_ATTR_FRAME attribute is replaced with a
* %NL80211_ATTR_TIMED_OUT flag (and %NL80211_ATTR_MAC to indicate which
* pending authentication timed out).

*
* @NL80211_CMD_MICHAEL_MIC_FAILURE: notification of a locally detected Michael

*
* @NL80211_CMD_JOIN_IBSS: Join a new IBSS -- given at least an SSID and a
* FREQ attribute (for the initial frequency if no peer can be found)
* and optionally a MAC (as BSSID) and FREQ_FIXED attribute if those
* should be fixed rather than automatically determined. Can only be

* may be rejected. Another optional parameter is the beacon interval,
* given in the %NL80211_ATTR_BEACON_INTERVAL attribute, which if not
* given defaults to 100 TU (102.4ms).
* @NL80211_CMD_LEAVE_IBSS: Leave the IBSS -- no special arguments, the IBSS is
* determined by the network interface.
*
* @NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE: testmode command, takes a wiphy (or ifindex) attribute
* to identify the device, and the TESTDATA blob attribute to pass through
* to the driver.
*
* @NL80211_CMD_CONNECT: connection request and notification; this command
* requests to connect to a specified network but without separating
* auth and assoc steps. For this, you need to specify the SSID in a
* %NL80211_ATTR_SSID attribute, and can optionally specify the association
* IEs in %NL80211_ATTR_IE, %NL80211_ATTR_AUTH_TYPE, %NL80211_ATTR_MAC,

* It is also sent as an event, with the BSSID and response IEs when the
* connection is established or failed to be established. This can be
* determined by the STATUS_CODE attribute.
* @NL80211_CMD_ROAM: request that the card roam (currently not implemented),
* sent as an event when the card/driver roamed by itself.
* @NL80211_CMD_DISCONNECT: drop a given connection; also used to notify
* userspace that a connection was dropped by the AP or due to other
* reasons, for this the %NL80211_ATTR_DISCONNECTED_BY_AP and
* %NL80211_ATTR_REASON_CODE attributes are used.
*
* @NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY_NETNS: Set a wiphy's netns. Note that all devices
* associated with this wiphy must be down and will follow.
*
* @NL80211_CMD_REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL: Request to remain awake on the specified
* channel for the specified amount of time. This can be used to do
* off-channel operations like transmit a Public Action frame and wait for
* a response while being associated to an AP on another channel.
* %NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY or %NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX is used to specify which
* radio is used. %NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FREQ is used to specify the
* frequency for the operation and %NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_CHANNEL_TYPE may be
* optionally used to specify additional channel parameters.
* %NL80211_ATTR_DURATION is used to specify the duration in milliseconds
* to remain on the channel. This command is also used as an event to
* notify when the requested duration starts (it may take a while for the
* driver to schedule this time due to other concurrent needs for the
* radio).
* When called, this operation returns a cookie (%NL80211_ATTR_COOKIE)
* that will be included with any events pertaining to this request;
* the cookie is also used to cancel the request.
* @NL80211_CMD_CANCEL_REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL: This command can be used to cancel a

*
* @NL80211_CMD_REGISTER_ACTION: Register for receiving certain action frames
* (via @NL80211_CMD_ACTION) for processing in userspace. This command
* requires an interface index and a match attribute containing the first
* few bytes of the frame that should match, e.g. a single byte for only
* a category match or four bytes for vendor frames including the OUI.
* The registration cannot be dropped, but is removed automatically
* when the netlink socket is closed. Multiple registrations can be made.
* @NL80211_CMD_ACTION: Action frame TX request and RX notification. This
* command is used both as a request to transmit an Action frame and as an
* event indicating reception of an Action frame that was not processed in
* kernel code, but is for us (i.e., which may need to be processed in a
* user space application). %NL80211_ATTR_FRAME is used to specify the
* frame contents (including header). %NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FREQ (and
* optionally %NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_CHANNEL_TYPE) is used to indicate on
* which channel the frame is to be transmitted or was received. This
* channel has to be the current channel (remain-on-channel or the
* operational channel). When called, this operation returns a cookie
* (%NL80211_ATTR_COOKIE) that will be included with the TX status event
* pertaining to the TX request.
* @NL80211_CMD_ACTION_TX_STATUS: Report TX status of an Action frame
* transmitted with %NL80211_CMD_ACTION. %NL80211_ATTR_COOKIE identifies

nl80211: add power save commands The most needed command from nl80211, which Wireless Extensions had, is support for power save mode. Add a simple command to make it possible to enable and disable power save via nl80211. I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it. Basically there were three reasons: Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent. Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and still make sense to users, will be very difficult. Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on. Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this. For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network and other traffic parameters. Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend this command with more features, if there's a need for that.

nl80211: Add MLME primitives to support external SME This patch adds new nl80211 commands to allow user space to request authentication and association (and also deauthentication and disassociation). The commands are structured to allow separate authentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between kernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE 802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the SME. The patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request, MLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and association commands request the actual operations in two steps (assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect" command). The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state machine from moving automatically from authentication to association. Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211. The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and association process to user space without having to move the full MLME implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant. This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME primitives for handling the FT Action frames).

cfg80211: Add new wireless regulatory infrastructure This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution, and to replace the initial centralized code we have where: * only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU * regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter * all rules were built statically in the kernel We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules without updating the kernel. Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to further help compliance. Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of this. For more information see: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter, ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically (US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY. These old static definitions and the module parameter is being scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless. If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory domain for us. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

nl80211: Add MLME primitives to support external SME This patch adds new nl80211 commands to allow user space to request authentication and association (and also deauthentication and disassociation). The commands are structured to allow separate authentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between kernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE 802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the SME. The patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request, MLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and association commands request the actual operations in two steps (assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect" command). The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state machine from moving automatically from authentication to association. Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211. The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and association process to user space without having to move the full MLME implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant. This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME primitives for handling the FT Action frames).

nl80211: add power save commands The most needed command from nl80211, which Wireless Extensions had, is support for power save mode. Add a simple command to make it possible to enable and disable power save via nl80211. I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it. Basically there were three reasons: Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent. Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and still make sense to users, will be very difficult. Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on. Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this. For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network and other traffic parameters. Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend this command with more features, if there's a need for that.

cfg80211: Add new wireless regulatory infrastructure This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution, and to replace the initial centralized code we have where: * only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU * regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter * all rules were built statically in the kernel We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules without updating the kernel. Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to further help compliance. Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of this. For more information see: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter, ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically (US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY. These old static definitions and the module parameter is being scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless. If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory domain for us. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

nl80211: Add MLME primitives to support external SME This patch adds new nl80211 commands to allow user space to request authentication and association (and also deauthentication and disassociation). The commands are structured to allow separate authentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between kernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE 802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the SME. The patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request, MLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and association commands request the actual operations in two steps (assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect" command). The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state machine from moving automatically from authentication to association. Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211. The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and association process to user space without having to move the full MLME implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant. This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME primitives for handling the FT Action frames).

The authentication and association commands request the actual operations in two steps (assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect" command). The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state machine from moving automatically from authentication to association. Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211. The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and association process to user space without having to move the full MLME implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant. This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME primitives for handling the FT Action frames).

nl80211: add power save commands The most needed command from nl80211, which Wireless Extensions had, is support for power save mode. Add a simple command to make it possible to enable and disable power save via nl80211. I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it. Basically there were three reasons: Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent. Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and still make sense to users, will be very difficult. Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on. Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this. For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network and other traffic parameters. Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend this command with more features, if there's a need for that.
