24 /**
25 * DOC: Introduction
27 * mac80211 is the Linux stack for 802.11 hardware that implements
28 * only partial functionality in hard- or firmware. This document
29 * defines the interface between mac80211 and low-level hardware
30 * drivers.
33 /**
34 * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
36 * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
37 * called in hardware interrupt context. The low-level driver must not call any
38 * other functions in hardware interrupt context. If there is a need for such
39 * call, the low-level driver should first ACK the interrupt and perform the
40 * IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue or even
41 * tasklet function.
43 * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
44 * use the non-IRQ-safe functions!
47 /**
48 * DOC: Warning
50 * If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will
51 * be incomplete because not all documentation has been converted yet.
54 /**
55 * DOC: Frame format
57 * As a general rule, when frames are passed between mac80211 and the driver,
58 * they start with the IEEE 802.11 header and include the same octets that are
59 * sent over the air except for the FCS which should be calculated by the
60 * hardware.
62 * There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
64 * The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
65 * where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
67 * Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
68 * the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
70 * Finally, for received frames, the driver is able to indicate that it has
71 * filled a radiotap header and put that in front of the frame; if it does
72 * not do so then mac80211 may add this under certain circumstances.
75 /**
76 * DOC: mac80211 workqueue
78 * mac80211 provides its own workqueue for drivers and internal mac80211 use.
79 * The workqueue is a single threaded workqueue and can only be accessed by
80 * helpers for sanity checking. Drivers must ensure all work added onto the
81 * mac80211 workqueue should be cancelled on the driver stop() callback.
83 * mac80211 will flushed the workqueue upon interface removal and during
84 * suspend.
86 * All work performed on the mac80211 workqueue must not acquire the RTNL lock.

282 * number and increasing the sequence number only when the

285 * for non-QoS-data and management frames because beacons need them from
286 * that counter as well and mac80211 cannot guarantee proper sequencing.
287 * If this flag is set, the driver should instruct the hardware to

298 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED: The frame was not transmitted
299 * because the destination STA was in powersave mode. Note that to
300 * avoid race conditions, the filter must be set by the hardware or
301 * firmware upon receiving a frame that indicates that the station
302 * went to sleep (must be done on device to filter frames already on
303 * the queue) and may only be unset after mac80211 gives the OK for
304 * that by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT (see above),
305 * since only then is it guaranteed that no more frames are in the
306 * hardware queue.
307 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK: Frame was acknowledged
308 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU: The frame was aggregated, so status
309 * is for the whole aggregation.
310 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK: no block ack was returned,
311 * so consider using block ack request (BAR).
312 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE: internal to mac80211, can be
313 * set by rate control algorithms to indicate probe rate, will
314 * be cleared for fragmented frames (except on the last fragment)
315 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING: completely internal to mac80211,
316 * used to indicate that a pending frame requires TX processing before
317 * it can be sent out.
318 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRIED: completely internal to mac80211,
319 * used to indicate that a frame was already retried due to PS
320 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT: completely internal to mac80211,
321 * used to indicate frame should not be encrypted
322 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_PSPOLL_RESPONSE: (internal?)
323 * This frame is a response to a PS-poll frame and should be sent
324 * although the station is in powersave mode.
325 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES: More frames will be passed to the
326 * transmit function after the current frame, this can be used
327 * by drivers to kick the DMA queue only if unset or when the
328 * queue gets full.
329 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRANSMISSION: This frame is being retransmitted
330 * after TX status because the destination was asleep, it must not
331 * be modified again (no seqno assignment, crypto, etc.)
332 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_HAS_RADIOTAP: This frame was injected and still
333 * has a radiotap header at skb->data.
334 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NL80211_FRAME_TX: Frame was requested through nl80211
335 * MLME command (internal to mac80211 to figure out whether to send TX
336 * status to user space)
337 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_LDPC: tells the driver to use LDPC for this frame
338 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_STBC: Enables Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) for this
339 * frame and selects the maximum number of streams that it can use.
340 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN: Marks this packet to be transmitted on
341 * the off-channel channel when a remain-on-channel offload is done
342 * in hardware -- normal packets still flow and are expected to be
343 * handled properly by the device.
344 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_TKIP_MIC_FAILURE: Marks this packet to be used for TKIP
345 * testing. It will be sent out with incorrect Michael MIC key to allow
346 * TKIP countermeasures to be tested.
348 * Note: If you have to add new flags to the enumeration, then don't

1274 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
1276 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
1277 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
1279 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
1280 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
1281 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
1282 * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
1283 * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
1284 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
1285 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
1287 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
1288 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
1289 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
1291 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
1292 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
1293 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
1294 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
1296 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
1298 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
1299 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
1300 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
1301 * based on the receive flags.
1303 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
1304 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
1305 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
1306 * keys.
1308 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
1309 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
1310 * handler.
1311 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
1312 * This happens every time the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
1313 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
1314 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
1315 * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
1316 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
1320 * DOC: Powersave support
1322 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
1324 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
1325 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
1326 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
1327 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
1328 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
1329 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
1330 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
1331 * it finds traffic directed to it.
1333 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
1334 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
1335 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
1336 * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
1337 * back to sleep at appropriate times.
1339 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
1340 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
1341 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
1343 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
1344 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
1345 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
1346 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
1347 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
1348 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
1349 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
1351 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
1352 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
1353 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
1354 * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
1355 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
1356 * periods.
1358 * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
1359 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
1360 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
1361 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
1362 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
1363 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
1364 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
1365 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
1366 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
1367 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
1369 * Some hardware need to toggle a single shared antenna between WLAN and
1370 * Bluetooth to facilitate co-existence. These types of hardware set
1371 * limitations on the use of host controlled dynamic powersave whenever there
1372 * is simultaneous WLAN and Bluetooth traffic. For these types of hardware, the
1373 * driver may request temporarily going into full power save, in order to
1374 * enable toggling the antenna between BT and WLAN. If the driver requests
1375 * disabling dynamic powersave, the @dynamic_ps_timeout value will be
1376 * temporarily set to zero until the driver re-enables dynamic powersave.
1378 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
1379 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
1380 * uapsd paramater in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
1381 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
1382 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
1383 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
1385 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
1386 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.
1390 * DOC: Beacon filter support
1392 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
1393 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usuallly works so that
1394 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
1395 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
1396 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
1397 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
1398 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
1400 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER
1401 * hardware capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
1402 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
1403 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
1404 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
1406 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
1407 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
1408 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
1409 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
1411 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
1412 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
1413 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
1414 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
1415 * - a list of information element IDs
1416 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
1418 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
1419 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
1420 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
1421 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
1422 * vendor information elements.
1424 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
1425 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
1427 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
1428 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
1429 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
1430 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
1431 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
1432 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
1435 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
1436 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
1437 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
1438 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
1439 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
1440 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
1441 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
1442 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
1444 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
1445 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
1446 * signal strength threshold checking.
1450 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
1452 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
1453 * power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
1454 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
1455 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
1457 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
1458 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
1459 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
1460 * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
1461 * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
1462 * hardware flags.
1464 * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
1465 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
1466 * turned off otherwise.
1468 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
1469 * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
1470 * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
1471 * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.
1475 * DOC: Frame filtering
1477 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
1478 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
1479 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
1480 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
1481 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
1483 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
1484 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
1485 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
1487 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
1488 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
1489 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
1490 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
1491 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
1492 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
1493 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
1495 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
1496 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
1497 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
1498 * or dropped.
1500 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
1501 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
1502 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
1503 * the flag, but not clear it.
1504 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
1505 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
1506 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
1507 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
1508 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
1509 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
1510 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
1511 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.
1515 * enum ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags
1517 * These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be
1518 * programmed to let through and what should not be passed to the
1519 * stack. It is always safe to pass more frames than requested,
1520 * but this has negative impact on power consumption.
1522 * @FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS: promiscuous mode within your BSS,
1523 * think of the BSS as your network segment and then this corresponds
1524 * to the regular ethernet device promiscuous mode.
1526 * @FIF_ALLMULTI: pass all multicast frames, this is used if requested
1527 * by the user or if the hardware is not capable of filtering by
1528 * multicast address.
1530 * @FIF_FCSFAIL: pass frames with failed FCS (but you need to set the
1531 * %RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC for them)
1533 * @FIF_PLCPFAIL: pass frames with failed PLCP CRC (but you need to set
1534 * the %RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC for them
1536 * @FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC: This flag is set during scanning to indicate
1537 * to the hardware that it should not filter beacons or probe responses
1538 * by BSSID. Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing
1539 * mac80211 needs to do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so you should
1540 * honour this flag if possible.
1542 * @FIF_CONTROL: pass control frames (except for PS Poll), if PROMISC_IN_BSS
1543 * is not set then only those addressed to this station.
1545 * @FIF_OTHER_BSS: pass frames destined to other BSSes
1547 * @FIF_PSPOLL: pass PS Poll frames, if PROMISC_IN_BSS is not set then only
1548 * those addressed to this station.
1550 * @FIF_PROBE_REQ: pass probe request frames

1590 * struct ieee80211_ops - callbacks from mac80211 to the driver
1592 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
1593 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
1594 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
1596 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
1597 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
1598 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
1599 * configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
1600 * preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately, more
1601 * importantly, however, it must never fail for A-MPDU-queues.
1602 * This function should return NETDEV_TX_OK except in very
1603 * limited cases.
1604 * Must be implemented and atomic.
1606 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
1607 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
1608 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
1609 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
1610 * or zero.
1611 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1612 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1613 * is added.
1614 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
1616 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1617 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1618 * it must turn off frame reception.)
1619 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
1620 * an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
1621 * you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
1622 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
1624 * @suspend: Suspend the device; mac80211 itself will quiesce before and
1625 * stop transmitting and doing any other configuration, and then
1626 * ask the device to suspend. This is only invoked when WoWLAN is
1627 * configured, otherwise the device is deconfigured completely and
1628 * reconfigured at resume time.
1630 * @resume: If WoWLAN was configured, this indicates that mac80211 is
1631 * now resuming its operation, after this the device must be fully
1632 * functional again. If this returns an error, the only way out is
1633 * to also unregister the device. If it returns 1, then mac80211
1634 * will also go through the regular complete restart on resume.
1636 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
1637 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
1638 * and @stop must be implemented.
1639 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
1640 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
1641 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
1642 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1643 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
1644 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
1646 * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
1647 * is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
1648 * switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
1649 * Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
1650 * found by the interface iteration callbacks.
1652 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1653 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1654 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
1655 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1656 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1657 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1658 * MAC address of the device going away.
1659 * Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
1661 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
1662 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
1663 * This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
1664 * if it does. The callback can sleep.
1666 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
1667 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1668 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1669 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1670 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
1671 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
1672 * can sleep.
1674 * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
1675 * This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
1676 * to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
1678 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
1679 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
1680 * This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
1682 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
1683 * must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
1685 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1686 * This callback is only called between add_interface and
1687 * remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
1688 * is enabled.
1689 * Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
1690 * The callback can sleep.
1692 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1693 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
1694 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
1695 * The callback must be atomic.
1697 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
1698 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
1699 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
1700 * registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
1701 * that power save is disabled.
1702 * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
1703 * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
1704 * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
1705 * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
1706 * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
1707 * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
1708 * any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
1709 * The callback can sleep.
1711 * @sched_scan_start: Ask the hardware to start scanning repeatedly at
1712 * specific intervals. The driver must call the
1713 * ieee80211_sched_scan_results() function whenever it finds results.
1714 * This process will continue until sched_scan_stop is called.
1716 * @sched_scan_stop: Tell the hardware to stop an ongoing scheduled scan.
1718 * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
1719 * is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
1720 * The callback can sleep.
1722 * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
1723 * software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
1724 * this notification.
1725 * The callback can sleep.
1727 * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
1728 * Returns zero if statistics are available.
1729 * The callback can sleep.
1731 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
1732 * callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
1733 * and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
1734 * The callback must be atomic.
1736 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this
1737 * if the device does fragmentation by itself; if this callback is
1738 * implemented then the stack will not do fragmentation.
1739 * The callback can sleep.
1741 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
1742 * The callback can sleep.
1744 * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
1745 * AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
1747 * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
1748 * station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
1750 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
1751 * associated station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. For a VIF operating
1752 * in AP mode, this callback will not be called when the flag
1753 * %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS is set. Must be atomic.
1755 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
1756 * bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
1757 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
1758 * The callback can sleep.
1760 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
1761 * this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
1762 * required function.
1763 * The callback can sleep.
1765 * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
1766 * Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
1767 * required function.
1768 * The callback can sleep.
1770 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
1771 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
1772 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
1773 * TSF synchronization.
1774 * The callback can sleep.
1776 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
1777 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
1778 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
1779 * Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
1780 * The callback can sleep.
1782 * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
1783 * The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
1784 * the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
1785 * ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
1786 * is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. Notice
1787 * that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
1788 * The @buf_size parameter is only valid when the action is set to
1789 * %IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL and indicates the peer's reorder
1790 * buffer size (number of subframes) for this session -- the driver
1791 * may neither send aggregates containing more subframes than this
1792 * nor send aggregates in a way that lost frames would exceed the
1793 * buffer size. If just limiting the aggregate size, this would be
1794 * possible with a buf_size of 8:
1795 * - TX: 1.....7
1796 * - RX: 2....7 (lost frame #1)
1797 * - TX: 8..1...
1798 * which is invalid since #1 was now re-transmitted well past the
1799 * buffer size of 8. Correct ways to retransmit #1 would be:
1800 * - TX: 1 or 18 or 81
1801 * Even "189" would be wrong since 1 could be lost again.
1803 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
1804 * The callback can sleep.
1806 * @get_survey: Return per-channel survey information
1808 * @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
1809 * need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
1810 * and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
1811 * The callback can sleep.
1813 * @set_coverage_class: Set slot time for given coverage class as specified
1814 * in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 and modify ACK timeout
1815 * accordingly. This callback is not required and may sleep.
1817 * @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command.
1818 * The callback can sleep.
1820 * @flush: Flush all pending frames from the hardware queue, making sure
1821 * that the hardware queues are empty. If the parameter @drop is set
1822 * to %true, pending frames may be dropped. The callback can sleep.
1824 * @channel_switch: Drivers that need (or want) to offload the channel
1825 * switch operation for CSAs received from the AP may implement this
1826 * callback. They must then call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to indicate
1827 * completion of the channel switch.
1829 * @napi_poll: Poll Rx queue for incoming data frames.
1831 * @set_antenna: Set antenna configuration (tx_ant, rx_ant) on the device.
1832 * Parameters are bitmaps of allowed antennas to use for TX/RX. Drivers may
1833 * reject TX/RX mask combinations they cannot support by returning -EINVAL
1834 * (also see nl80211.h @NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX).
1836 * @get_antenna: Get current antenna configuration from device (tx_ant, rx_ant).
1838 * @remain_on_channel: Starts an off-channel period on the given channel, must
1839 * call back to ieee80211_ready_on_channel() when on that channel. Note
1840 * that normal channel traffic is not stopped as this is intended for hw
1841 * offload. Frames to transmit on the off-channel channel are transmitted
1842 * normally except for the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN flag. When the
1843 * duration (which will always be non-zero) expires, the driver must call
1844 * ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired(). This callback may sleep.
1845 * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Requests that an ongoing off-channel period is
1846 * aborted before it expires. This callback may sleep.
1847 * @offchannel_tx: Transmit frame on another channel, wait for a response
1848 * and return. Reliable TX status must be reported for the frame. If the
1849 * return value is 1, then the @remain_on_channel will be used with a
1850 * regular transmission (if supported.)
1851 * @offchannel_tx_cancel_wait: cancel wait associated with offchannel TX
1853 * @set_ringparam: Set tx and rx ring sizes.
1855 * @get_ringparam: Get tx and rx ring current and maximum sizes.
1857 * @tx_frames_pending: Check if there is any pending frame in the hardware
1858 * queues before entering power save.
1860 * @set_bitrate_mask: Set a mask of rates to be used for rate control selection
1861 * when transmitting a frame. Currently only legacy rates are handled.
1862 * The callback can sleep.
