[0/5] Orinoco merge updates, part the fourth

[0/5] Orinoco merge updates, part the fourth

[David Gibson]

Hi Jeff, please apply:

Here's yet another batch of orinoco updates.  Smaller and less
significant than the last, this is basically a handful of remaining
small updates before tackling the big changes (wext v15, monitor and
scanning).  Patches are:
	orinoco-wstats-updates
		Updates and bugfixes to wireless stats handling
	orinoco-ignore-disconnect
		Add the ignore_disconnect module parameter
	orinoco-kill-dump-recs
		Remove ugly debugging code, to be replaced later with
		simpler and more useful stuff
	orinoco-no-infra-channel
		Don't attempt to set channel in managed mode, the
		firmware doesn't like that.
	orinoco-consolidate-allocate
		Remove some duplicated code for firmware buffer
		allocation, removing a bug in a hw workaround in the
		process.

[2/5] Orinoco merge updates, part the fourth: ignore_disconnect flag

[David Gibson]

Adds an ignore_disconnect module parameter.  When enabled, the driver
will continue attempting to send packets even when the firmware has
told us we've lost our link to the AP.  On some firmwares this
substantially increases the usable range of the card (presumably
because we have an interrmittent connection, but the firmware is able
to queue the packets for us until we're connected again).  On some
other cards, it causes the firmware to fall in a screaming heap :(
(hence, default off).

[3/5] Orinoco merge updates, part the fourth: kill dump_recs

Remove the dump_recs debugging iwpriv command.  It will be replaced
later with the simpler and more flexible get_rid command.

[4/5] Orinoco merge updates, part the fourth: don't set channel in managed mode

[David Gibson]

Don't attempt to manually set the channel in infrastructure mode, the
firmware doesn't like that much.  Also don't attempt to override the
firmware's default channel number for IBSS mode (I believe default
channel can vary by regulatory domain).

Re: [Orinoco-devel] [0/5] Orinoco merge updates, part the fourth

[abuas_z]

Hello,

DG> Here's yet another batch of orinoco updates.

Will this patches be included in CVS-Head code? Now I checked and the
last modification of orinoco.c was about 4 days ago, when switch to
enable monitor mode on all firmwares was included...

DG> Smaller and less significant than the last,

What was the last?

DG> this is basically a handful of remaining small updates before
DG> tackling the big changes (wext v15, monitor and scanning).

So, the next thing that will be do, will be WPA and monitor mode
improvement (maybe in all firmwares)?
