  • b61a5eea5   wimax: use genl_register_family_with_ops() ... Browse Code »

    This simplifies the code since there's no longer a need to
    have error handling in the registration.

    Unfortunately it means more extern function declarations are
    needed, but the overall goal would seem to justify this.

    Due to the removal of duplication in the netlink policies,
    this reduces the size of wimax by almost 1k.

  • 3e65646bb   wimax: basic API: kernel/user messaging, rfkill and reset ... Browse Code »

    Implements the three basic operations provided by the stack's control
    interface to WiMAX devices:

    - Messaging channel between user space and driver/device

    This implements a direct communication channel between user space
    and the driver/device, by which free form messages can be sent back
    and forth.

    This is intended for device-specific features, vendor quirks, etc.

    - RF-kill framework integration

    Provide most of the RF-Kill integration for WiMAX drivers so that
    all device drivers have to do is after wimax_dev_add() is call
    wimax_report_rfkill_{hw,sw}() to update initial state and then every
    time it changes.

    Provides wimax_rfkill() for the kernel to call to set software
    RF-Kill status and/or query current hardware and software switch
    status.

    Exports wimax_rfkill() over generic netlink to user space.

    - Reset a WiMAX device

    Provides wimax_reset() for the kernel to reset a wimax device as
    needed and exports it over generic netlink to user space.

    This API is clearly limited, as it still provides no way to do the
    basic scan, connect and disconnect in a hardware independent way. The
    WiMAX case is more complex than WiFi due to the way networks are
    discovered and provisioned.

    The next developments are to add the basic operations so they can be
    offerent by different drivers. However, we'd like to get more vendors
    to jump in and provide feedback of how the user/kernel API/abstraction
    layer should be.

    The user space code for the i2400m, as of now, uses the messaging
    channel, but that will change as the API evolves.
