We were not differentiating quality between legacy and HT
configurations. We change this to consider the differences.
New theory for reporting quality:
At a hardware RSSI of 45 you will be able to use MCS 7 reliably.
At a hardware RSSI of 45 you will be able to use MCS 15 reliably.
At a hardware RSSI of 35 you should be able use 54 Mbps reliably.
MCS 7 is the highets MCS index usable by a 1-stream device.
MCS 15 is the highest MCS index usable by a 2-stream device.
All ath9k devices are either 1-stream or 2-stream.
How many bars you see is derived from the qual reporting.
A more elaborate scheme can be used here but it requires tables
of SNR/throughput for each possible mode used. For the MCS table
you can refer to the wireless wiki:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/ieee80211/802.11n

The SDIO driver sets the surpriseremoved flag before calling
lbs_remove_card. With IEEE PS enabled, lbs_remove_card must issue a
command to exit IEEE PS mode, however with that flag set the command
path is blocked and the card is never taken out of IEEE PS mode. This
step is required to ensure that the driver can be reloaded. This patch
moves the setting of surpriseremoved after lbs_remove_card is called.
Tested with V9 firmware by ensuring that IEEE PS is disabled when the
driver is removed. Reloading the driver is not fully tested due to a
separate issue with module reload in the SDIO driver, however this
patch at least leaves the card in a better state when we bring the
driver down.

The SPI driver does a couple of card cleanup steps in the wrong order on
module removal. If IEEE PS is enabled, this results in the card being
left in IEEE PS mode and subsequent failures to reload the module. The
problem is that the surpriseremoved flag is set before calling
lbs_remove_card, but that function needs to issue a command to exit IEEE
PS mode (the flag blocks the command path). In addition, lbs_stop_card
should be called first because it clears out any pending commands.
Tested on a GSPI device with V9 firmware by confirming that we can
reload the module with or without IEEE PS enabled.
Also fix a warning from the wrong uint format in a printk.

Libertas currently maintains a copy of the WPA unicast and group keys
when using WPA or WPA2. This copy is checked when deciding whether or
not to return to sleep in IEEE PS mode but the actual copying back to
priv was omitted, which breaks IEEE PS mode with WPA/WPA2 when one
issues commands that require temporarily keeping the device awake.
This patch introduces the omitted copy-back of the keys so that IEEE PS
functions correctly in WPA/WPA2 mode. Thanks to Dan Williams for
clearing up the issue.

This introduces a new NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE for testing
and calibration use with nl80211. There's no multiplexing
like like iwpriv had, and the command is not available by
default, it needs to be explicitly enabled in Kconfig and
shouldn't be enabled in most kernels.
The command requires a wiphy index or interface index to
identify the device to operate on, and the new TESTDATA
attribute. There also is API for sending replies to the
command, and testmode multicast messages (on a testmode
multicast group).
I've also updated mac80211 to be able to pass through the
command to the driver, since it itself doesn't implement
the testmode command.
Additionally, to give people an idea of how to use the
command, I've added a little code to hwsim that makes use
of the new command to set the powersave mode, this is
currently done via debugfs and should remain there, and
the testmode command only serves as an example of how to
use this best -- with nested netlink attributes in the
TESTDATA attribute. A hwsim testmode tool can be found at
http://git.sipsolutions.net/hwsim.git/. This tool is BSD
licensed so people can easily use it as a basis for their
own internal fabrication and validation tools.

When the auth algorithm is rejected, but we don't have
another one to try, we will eventually retry but that

we eventually give up. Instead, we should let the SME

situations where the AP rejects with any other status
code.
Additionally, when trying the next auth algorithm, we
should reset the auth_tries so that just a single lost

algorithm.
