048edb1070 Revert "nl80211: Add nla_put_u32() wrapper for Android"
This reverts commit df2f9ec6b2.

The current AOSP snapshot for JB includes nla_put_u32(), so this is not
needed anymore and is also causing linking issues due to duplicated
definition.

b691dcb129 nl80211: Fix max_remain_on_chan capability reading
In case that NL80211_PROTOCOL_FEATURE_SPLIT_WIPHY_DUMP is supported,
wiphy_info_handler() is called several times, where
NL80211_ATTR_MAX_REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL_DURATION is present only in one
of these calls. Thus capa->max_remain_on_chan is overridden in
all other calls.

Fix it so the default value is set only after all the wiphy info was
received.

adc96dc2ad nl80211: Fix nla_nest_start conversion
Dmitry reported that the kernel could no longer parse the
scheduled scan attributes correctly after my patch to use
nla_nest_start/nla_nest_end. The reason is that the wrong
attribute is closed I accidentally made it close the full
scan config instead of just the SSID match set.

c30a4ab045 nl80211: Fix mode settings with split wiphy dump
When the wiphy information is split, there's no guarantee that the
channels are processed before the bitrates; in fact, with the current
kernel it happens the other way around. Therefore, the mode information
isn't set up correctly and there's no 11g mode.

Fix this by doing the 11b/11g determination as part of the

Add a driver capability flag for drivers which support IBSS mode and set
it for nl80211 drivers which have set the NL80211_IFTYPE_ADHOC.

Add a new option "modes" to "get_capability" which will return "AP" and
"IBSS" if the corresponding capability flags are set.

a8c5b43ad3 nl80211: Roam correctly through cfg80211 without SME
Change the nl80211 driver in wpa_supplicant to correctly handle
connecting to a new AP through cfg80211 without SME capability. As
before, the driver will disconnect from the previously associated AP,
but now we attempt to immediately connect to our intended AP. This
prevents us from blacklisting the AP we were trying to connect to
because of a semantic mismatch between cfg80211 and wpa_supplicant. The
disconnect/connect patch generates a local disconnect nl80211 event
which we discard because we're already correctly tracking the pending
association request.

In detail:

cfg80211 does not support connecting to a new BSS while already
connected to another BSS, if the underlying driver doesn't support
separate authenticate and associate commands. wpa_supplicant is written
to expect that this is a supported operation, except for a little error
handling that disconnects from the current BSS when roaming fails and
relies on autoconnect logic to reconnect later. However, this failure to
connect is incorrectly attributed to the new AP we attempted to
associate with, rather than a local condition in cfg80211.

The combined effect of these two conditions is that full-mac drivers
accessible through cfg80211 but without SME capability take a long time
to roam across BSS's because wpa_supplicant will:
1) Fail to associate for local reasons
2) Disconnect and return that the association request failed
3) Blacklist the association target (incorrectly)
4) Do a scan
5) Pick a less desirable AP to associate with

This patch implements shared_freq handler for driver_nl80211.c. If a
"p2p_group_add" happens after legacy STA association, then this patch
will help to start the GO on the same frequency. This is useful when
supplicant is started on multiple interface running over a singly "PHY"
and the station interface is not used for the P2P device operations.

For example, wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 ..  -N -iwlan1 ... and wlan0 is used
for station connection and wlan1 as the P2P device interface.

b3af99d202 nl80211: Disable IEEE 802.11b rates only for P2P iftypes
Instead of hardcoding IEEE 802.11b rates to be disabled whenever
P2P support is built in and supported by the driver, do this only
when an interface is set to P2P mode (both when adding a new
interface and when changing the interface mode). This re-enables
use of IEEE 802.11b APs with CONFIG_P2P=y builds.

This function was used unconditionally if wpa_supplicant build

is not really useful since the driver wrappers can do the same
internally. Remove this driver_ops and move matching functionality
into driver_nl80211.c which was the only driver wrapper using
this driver_ops callback.

1dea5882be nl80211: Fix re-enabling of 802.11b rates
nl80211_disable_11b_rates() function was supposed to use the 'disabled'
parameter to figure out whether to disable or re-enable 802.11b rates.
In addition, the driver deinit path was now ending up re-disabling the
enabled rates at the end of the deinit operations when the interface
type was forced back to station. Both of these issues are now fixed
and the 2.4 GHz band TX rate index is cleared properly when
wpa_supplicant is stopped.
