[PATCH 1/8] iwlwifi: do not set tx power when channel is changing

[Stanislaw Gruszka]

Mac80211 can request for tx power and channel change in one ->config
call. If that happens, *_send_tx_power functions will try to setup tx
power for old channel, what can be not correct because we already change
the band. I.e  error  "Failed to get channel info for channel 140 [0]",
can be printed frequently when operating in software scanning mode.

[Stanislaw Gruszka]

Similar change as we already do for agn, need to avoid
"Error setting Tx power (-5)" message when loading module.

Why define 3945 in agn header file?
I understand iwl-agn-rs.h is include in iwl-dev.h, which is not the
right thing to do. but specify 3945 in agn header file make it even more
confuse.

The whole reason has it in Kconfig file is to have user not remove the
experimental uCode from /lib/firmware and not use it.

Also put it in Kconfig file, so it is easy for user to see they are
using experimental option. Agree?

$ grep 3945 drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-agn-rs.h
struct iwl3945_rate_info {
	IWL_RATE_COUNT_3945 = IWL_RATE_COUNT - 1,

This file contains 3945 data, I agree this is confused

What is easiest and less time consuming:

this:

$ mv /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-exp.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-exp.ucode.not_use

or this:

$ make menuconfig
navigate to find option and edit it 
$ make modules
$ make modules_install

?

Not really. I believe someone who download a tarball, unpack it and copy
files to /lib/firmware is pretty much aware what he/she is doing.

Agree whoever download the tarball know what he/she is doing, but I am
not fully agree the driver always use experimental uCode if it is in the
firmware directory

I do not understand what for you need that, but ok, I can live with it.

John, please skip this patch.

Maybe make it module parameter? Like use_experimental_fw, default to 0?

For me that even worse. Now I can provide users with kernel binaries with
enabled experimental fw support. Telling them to install firmware is
enough, to get test results.

With module option:

sgruszka: download exp firmware and load module with use_experimental_fw=1
user: ok, but how to do this 
sgruszka: echo "options iwlagn use_experiental_fw=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
sgruszka: and restart the system
user: hmm, I have error
user: bash: /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf: Permission denied 
sgruszka: login as root
user: ok I did, but new firmware did not help me
sgruszka: show me dmesg please
user: dmesg
sgruszka: old firmware is used
sgruszka: gash, I made a typo, it should be
sgruszka: echo "options iwlagn use_experimental_fw=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
sgruszka: grrrrrrr

I think module parameter is better idea, if you agree, and I will ack

there is a "ucode_alternative" module parameter already there which
doing the similar thing

I agree there will be mistake, but whoever want to use the experimental
uCode should know what they are doing, otherwise, regular uCode
works.right?

If you mean that only experienced linux users should be able to use
experimental firmware, I do not share that opinion. I dislike making
things not necessary complex and supporting driver harder, but I'll
not argue about that.
