When another scan is in progress, a direct scan gets dropped on the
floor. However, that direct scan is usually the scan that's really
needed by userspace, and gets stomped on by all the broadcast scans the
ipw2200 driver issues internally. Make sure the direct scan happens
eventually, and as a bonus ensure that the passive scan worker is
cleaned up when appropriate.
The change of request_passive_scan form a struct work to struct
delayed_work is only to make the set_wx_scan() code a bit simpler, it's
still only used with a delay of 0 to match previous behavior.

ipw2200 makes extensive use of background scanning when unassociated or
down. Unfortunately, the firmware sends scan completed events many
times per second, which the driver pushes directly up to userspace.
This needlessly wakes up processes listening for wireless events many
times per second. Batch together scan completed events for
non-user-requested scans and send them up to userspace every 4 seconds.
Scan completed events resulting from an SIOCSIWSCAN call are pushed up
without delay.

This patch enables the ipw2200 driver to support passive scanning as
offered by the wireless extensions. For this, I enhanced the ipw_wx_set_scan
function in such a way that it differentiates between a passive and an
active scan request. Additionally, I added a new function called
ipw_request_passive_scan that is similiar to the ipw_request_scan
function to perform passive scans. Last but not least, I added a field
(in fact it is a work_struct struct) called request_passive_scan to
the ipw_priv struct.

With this patch, a new promiscuous mode is enabled. If the module is loaded
with the rtap_iface=1 module parameter, two interfaces will be created
(instead of just one).
The second interface is prefixed 'rtap' and provides received 802.11 frames
on the current channel to user space in a radiotap header format.
Example usage:
% modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1
% iwconfig eth1 essid MyNetwork
% dhcpcd eth1
% tcpdump -i rtap0
If you do not specify 'rtap_iface=1' then the rtap interface will
not be created and you will need to turn it on via:
% echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_iface
You can filter out what type of information is passed to user space via
the rtap_filter sysfs entry. Currently you can tell the driver to
transmit just the headers (which will provide the RADIOTAP and IEEE
802.11 header but not the payload), to filter based on frame control
type (Management, Control, or Data), and whether to report transmitted
frames, received frames, or both.
The transmit frame reporting is based on a patch by Stefan Rompf.
Filters can be get and set via a sysfs interface. For example, set the
filter to only send headers (0x7), don't report Tx'd frames (0x10), and
don't report data frames (0x100):
% echo 0x117 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_filter
All your packets are belong to us:
% tethereal -n -i rtap0

Set a meaningful silence threshold value (replacing our previous "0"
default), which gets rid of the gratuitous "Link deterioration"
notifications that we've been receiving from firmware. This
notification feature tells the driver information to help it determine
when to pre-emptively restart the firmware/ucode in anticipation of
firmware errors! But since setting this new threshold, I haven't seen
any such notifications. At least it keeps the logs a little less busy.

Checking the stack usage of my kernel, showed that ipw2200 had a few bad
offenders. This is on i386 32-bit:
0x00002876 ipw_send_associate: 544
0x000028ee ipw_send_associate: 544
0x000027dc ipw_send_scan_request_ext: 520
0x00002864 ipw_set_sensitivity: 520
0x00005eac ipw_set_rsn_capa: 520
The reason is the host_cmd structure is large (500 bytes). All other
functions currently using ipw_send_cmd() suffer from the same problem.
This patch introduces ipw_send_cmd_simple() for commands with no data
transfer, and ipw_send_cmd_pdu() for commands with a data payload and
makes the payload a pointer to the buffer passed in from the caller.
As an added bonus, the diffstat looks like this:
ipw2200.c | 260 +++++++++++++++++++++-----------------------------------------
ipw2200.h | 2
2 files changed, 92 insertions(+), 170 deletions(-)
and it shrinks the module a lot as well:
Before:
text data bss dec hex filename
75177 2472 44 77693 12f7d drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200.ko
After:

We send SYSTEM_CONFIG command after the TGI_KEY command if hardware
