RTL8192CU: about trivial change of removing some 8192c declaration from header file

2016-09-25 Thread Xuebing Wang
Hi Larry and Chaoming: I am trying to do User Mode driver for RTL8192CU (device is Alfa AWUS036NHR which is 802.11 b/g/n), and I am reading RTL8192CU / RTL8192C / RTLWIFI driver source code. There is a very trivial error that below declarations (in rtl8192cu/hw.h) are already in file driver

[PATCH 0/3] mac80211: multicast with AP_VLAN optimizations

2016-09-25 Thread Michael Braun
Hi, this series tries to optimize multicast delivery on access points with AP_VLAN interfaces. My setup is as follows: hostapd creates one AP_VLAN interface per station (per_sta_vif=1), which enables bridge igmp snooping to decide which stations need to receive a multicast packet. This series th

[PATCH 2/3] mac80211: multicast to unicast conversion

2016-09-25 Thread Michael Braun
This patch adds support for sending multicast data packets with ARP, IPv4 and IPv6 payload (possible 802.1q tagged) as 802.11 unicast frames to all stations. IEEE 802.11 multicast has well known issues, among them: 1. packets are not acked and hence not retransmitted, resulting in decreased r

[PATCH 1/3] mac80211: filter multicast data packets on AP / AP_VLAN

2016-09-25 Thread Michael Braun
This patch adds filtering for multicast data packets on AP_VLAN interfaces that have no authorized station connected and changes filtering on AP interfaces to not count stations assigned to AP_VLAN interfaces. This saves airtime and avoids waking up other stations currently authorized in this BSS.

[PATCH 3/3] mac80211: cache the only AP_VLAN station

2016-09-25 Thread Michael Braun
If an AP_VLAN is only used with one station, cache a pointer to this station to avoid lookup. This should speed up station lookup when there is only one station assigned to the AP_VLAN interface, e.g. when using hostapd with per_sta_vif. Assigning only one station per AP_VLAN interfaces enables br

[PATCHv2] mac80211: check A-MSDU inner frame source address on AP interfaces

2016-09-25 Thread Michael Braun
When using WPA security, the station and thus the required key is identified by its mac address when packets are received. So a station usually cannot spoof its source mac address. But when a station sends an A-MSDU frame, port control and crypto is done using the outer mac address, while the pack
