26 * DOC: Introduction
27 *
28 * mac80211 is the Linux stack for 802.11 hardware that implements
29 * only partial functionality in hard- or firmware. This document
30 * defines the interface between mac80211 and low-level hardware
31 * drivers.

35 * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
36 *
37 * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
Jiri Bencf0706e822007-05-05 11:45:53 -070038 * called in hardware interrupt context. The low-level driver must not call any
39 * other functions in hardware interrupt context. If there is a need for such
40 * call, the low-level driver should first ACK the interrupt and perform the
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -040041 * IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue function.

52 * DOC: Frame format
Jiri Bencf0706e822007-05-05 11:45:53 -070053 *
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -040054 * As a general rule, when frames are passed between mac80211 and the driver,
55 * they start with the IEEE 802.11 header and include the same octets that are
56 * sent over the air except for the FCS which should be calculated by the
57 * hardware.
58 *
59 * There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
60 *
61 * The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
62 * where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
63 *
64 * Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
65 * the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
66 *
67 * Finally, for received frames, the driver is able to indicate that it has
68 * filled a radiotap header and put that in front of the frame; if it does
69 * not do so then mac80211 may add this under certain circumstances.

Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -0400863 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
864 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
865 *
866 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
867 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
868 * decryption. The callback takes an @address parameter that will be
869 * the broadcast address for default keys, the other station's hardware
870 * address for individual keys or the zero address for keys that will
871 * be used only for transmission.
872 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
873 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
874 *
875 * The @local_address parameter will always be set to our own address,
876 * this is only relevant if you support multiple local addresses.
877 *
878 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
879 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
880 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
881 *
882 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
883 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
884 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
885 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
886 *
887 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
888 *
889 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
890 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
891 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
892 * based on the receive flags.
893 *
894 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
895 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
896 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
897 * keys.

901 * DOC: Frame filtering
902 *
903 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
904 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
905 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
906 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
907 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
908 *
909 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
910 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
911 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
912 *
913 * The configure_filter() callback is invoked with the parameters
914 * @mc_count and @mc_list for the combined multicast address list
915 * of all virtual interfaces, @changed_flags telling which flags
916 * were changed and @total_flags with the new flag states.
917 *
918 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
919 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
920 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
921 * or dropped.
922 *
923 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared, i.e. you
924 * should clear all bits except those you honoured.

990 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may

992 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
993 *
994 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
995 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
996 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
997 * configuration in the TX control data. Must be implemented and
998 * atomic.
999 *
1000 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
1001 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
1002 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
1003 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
1004 * or zero.
1005 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
1006 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
1007 * is added.
1008 * Must be implemented.
1009 *
1010 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
1011 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
1012 * it must turn off frame reception.)
1013 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
1014 * an interface.
1015 * Must be implemented.
1016 *
1017 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
1018 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @open
1019 * and @stop must be implemented.
1020 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
1021 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
1022 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
1023 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
1024 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
1025 * Must be implemented.
1026 *
1027 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
1028 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
1029 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
1030 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
1031 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
1032 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
1033 * MAC address of the device going away.
1034 * Hence, this callback must be implemented.
1035 *
1036 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
1037 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
1038 *
1039 * @config_interface: Handler for configuration requests related to interfaces
1040 * (e.g. BSSID changes.)
1041 *
Johannes Berg471b3ef2007-12-28 14:32:58 +01001042 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
1043 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
1044 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
1045 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
1046 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
1047 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. This callback
1048 * has to be atomic.
1049 *
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001050 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
1051 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
1052 * This callback must be implemented and atomic.
1053 *
1054 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. If the hardware/firmware takes care of beacon
1055 * generation (that is, %IEEE80211_HW_HOST_GEN_BEACON_TEMPLATE is set)
1056 * mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit must be set or cleared
1057 * for a given AID. Must be atomic.
1058 *
1059 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
1060 * This callback can sleep, and is only called between add_interface
1061 * and remove_interface calls, i.e. while the interface with the
1062 * given local_address is enabled.
1063 *
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001064 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
1065 * the scan state machine in stack.
1066 *
1067 * @get_stats: return low-level statistics
1068 *
Johannes Berg62da92f2007-12-19 02:03:31 +01001069 * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this

Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001084 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
1085 * bursting) for a hardware TX queue. The @queue parameter uses the
1086 * %IEEE80211_TX_QUEUE_* constants. Must be atomic.
1087 *
1088 * @get_tx_stats: Get statistics of the current TX queue status. This is used
1089 * to get number of currently queued packets (queue length), maximum queue
1090 * size (limit), and total number of packets sent using each TX queue
1091 * (count). This information is used for WMM to find out which TX
1092 * queues have room for more packets and by hostapd to provide
1093 * statistics about the current queueing state to external programs.
1094 *
1095 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
1096 * this is only used for IBSS mode debugging and, as such, is not a
1097 * required function. Must be atomic.
1098 *
1099 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
1100 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
1101 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
1102 * TSF synchronization.
1103 *
1104 * @beacon_update: Setup beacon data for IBSS beacons. Unlike access point,
1105 * IBSS uses a fixed beacon frame which is configured using this
Michael Buesch5ecc2a52007-10-02 12:17:56 +02001106 * function.
1107 * If the driver returns success (0) from this callback, it owns
1108 * the skb. That means the driver is responsible to kfree_skb() it.
1109 * The control structure is not dynamically allocated. That means the
1110 * driver does not own the pointer and if it needs it somewhere
1111 * outside of the context of this function, it must copy it
1112 * somewhere else.
1113 * This handler is required only for IBSS mode.
Johannes Berg75a5f0c2007-09-18 17:29:20 -04001114 *
1115 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
1116 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
1117 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
Ron Rindjunskyd3c990f2007-11-26 16:14:34 +02001118 *
