ath9k_common (used by ath9k and ath9k_htc) trusts the frames
blessed by hardware as OK are infact correct even if the rate
seen by the driver is unrecognized. ath9k_common just treats
these frames in mac80211 as frames as frames under 1 mbps rate.
It seems this might not be the best thing to do as other parts of

Currently the CCK and OFDM SIFS value is set to 32us. This value is neither
used by the Ralink driver nor specified in 802.11.
Instead of using 10us for CCK SIFS (as defined in 802.11) use 16us like in the
Ralink drivers. And indeed using a SIFS value of 10us breaks connectivity with
11g + CTS protected connections. Add a comment to the code why we don't use 10us
for CCK SIFS value.

The current way of managing beaconing in ad-hoc
mode has a subtle race - the beacon obtained from mac80211
is freed in the SWBA handler rather than the TX
completion routine. But transmission of beacons goes
through the normal SKB queue maintained in hif_usb,
leading to a situation where __skb_dequeue() in the TX
completion handler goes kaput.
Fix this by simply getting a beacon from mac80211 for
every SWBA and free it in its completion routine.

Currently, when one interface switches HT mode,
all others will follow along. This is clearly
undesirable, since the new one might switch to
no-HT while another one is operating in HT.
Address this issue by keeping track of the HT
mode per interface, and allowing only changes
that are compatible, i.e. switching into HT40+
is not possible when another interface is in
HT40-, in that case the second one needs to
fall back to HT20.
Also, to allow drivers to know what's going on,
store the per-interface HT mode (channel type)
in the virtual interface's bss_conf.

Currently (all tested with hwsim) you can do stupid
things like setting up an AP on a certain channel,
then adding another virtual interface and making
that associate on another channel -- this will make
the beaconing to move channel but obviously without
the necessary IEs data update.
In order to improve this situation, first make the
configuration APIs (cfg80211 and nl80211) aware of
multi-channel operation -- we'll eventually need
that in the future anyway. There's one userland API
change and one API addition. The API change is that
now SET_WIPHY must be called with virtual interface
index rather than only wiphy index in order to take
effect for that interface -- luckily all current
users (hostapd) do that. For monitor interfaces, the
old setting is preserved, but monitors are always
slaved to other devices anyway so no guarantees.
The second userland API change is the introduction
of a per virtual interface SET_CHANNEL command, that
hostapd should use going forward to make it easier
to understand what's going on (it can automatically
detect a kernel with this command).
Other than mac80211, no existing cfg80211 drivers
are affected by this change because they only allow
a single virtual interface.
mac80211, however, now needs to be aware that the
channel settings are per interface now, and needs
to disallow (for now) real multi-channel operation,
which is another important part of this patch.
One of the immediate benefits is that you can now
start hostapd to operate on a hardware that already
has a connection on another virtual interface, as
long as you specify the same channel.
Note that two things are left unhandled (this is an
improvement -- not a complete fix):
* different HT/no-HT modes
currently you could start an HT AP and then
connect to a non-HT network on the same channel
which would configure the hardware for no HT;
that can be fixed fairly easily
* CSA
An AP we're connected to on a virtual interface
might indicate switching channels, and in that
case we would follow it, regardless of how many
other interfaces are operating; this requires
more effort to fix but is pretty rare after all

This patch removes the incomplete AMPDU implementation in ar9170usb.
The code in question is:
* too big and complex (more than 550 SLOC.)
This is enough to qualify for a new separate code file!
* unbalanced quantity & quality
over-engineered areas like:
* xmit scheduling and queuing frames for multiple HT peers
* redundant frame sorting
are confronted by gaping holes:
* accurate transmission feedback
* firmware error-handling and device reset
* HT rate control algorithm
* error-prone
Since its inclusion, hardly anything was done to fix
any of the outlined flaws from the initial commit message.
=> This also indicates poor maintainability.
* relies heavily on several spinlocks.
As a result of this shortcomings, the code is slow and does not
even support the most basic 11n requirement: HT station mode.
Therefore, I request to purge my heap of **** from the kernel:

Similar to the patch for bridge, this patch does:
1) implement the 2 methods to support netpoll for bonding;
2) modify netpoll during forwarding packets via bonding;
3) disable netpoll support of bonding when a netpoll-unabled device
is added to bonding;
4) enable netpoll support when all underlying devices support netpoll.

This whole patchset is for adding netpoll support to bridge and bonding
devices. I already tested it for bridge, bonding, bridge over bonding,
and bonding over bridge. It looks fine now.
To make bridge and bonding support netpoll, we need to adjust
some netpoll generic code. This patch does the following things:
1) introduce two new priv_flags for struct net_device:
IFF_IN_NETPOLL which identifies we are processing a netpoll;
IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL is used to disable netpoll support for a device
at run-time;
2) introduce one new method for netdev_ops:
->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() is used to clean up netpoll when a device is
removed.
3) introduce netpoll_poll_dev() which takes a struct net_device * parameter;
export netpoll_send_skb() and netpoll_poll_dev() which will be used later;
4) hide a pointer to struct netpoll in struct netpoll_info, ditto.
5) introduce ->real_dev for struct netpoll.
6) introduce a new status NETDEV_BONDING_DESLAE, which is used to disable
netconsole before releasing a slave, to avoid deadlocks.
