The Ethernet framing is used for a lot of devices these days. Most
prominent are WiFi and WiMAX based devices. However for userspace
application it is important to classify these devices correctly and
not only see them as Ethernet devices. The daemons like HAL, DeviceKit
or even NetworkManager with udev support tries to do the classification
in userspace with a lot trickery and extra system calls. This is not
good and actually reaches its limitations. Especially since the kernel
does know the type of the Ethernet device it is pretty stupid.
To solve this problem the underlying device type needs to be set and
then the value will be exported as DEVTYPE via uevents and available
within udev.
# cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/uevent
DEVTYPE=wlan
INTERFACE=wlan0
IFINDEX=5
This is similar to subsystems like USB and SCSI that distinguish
between hosts, devices, disks, partitions etc.
The new SET_NETDEV_DEVTYPE() is a convenience helper to set the actual
device type. All device types are free form, but for convenience the
same strings as used with RFKILL are choosen.

When the i2400m device resets, the driver code will force some
functions to return a -ERESTARTSYS error code, which can is used by
the caller to determine which recovery actions to take.
However, in certain situations the only thing that can be done is to
bubble up said error code to user space, for handling.
However, -ERESTARSYS was a poor choice, as it is supposed to be used
by the kernel only.
As such, replace -ERESTARTSYS with -EL3RST; as well, in
i2400m_msg_to_dev(), when the device is in boot mode (following a
recent reset), return -EL3RST instead of -ENODEV (meaning the device
is in bootrom mode after a reset, not that the device was
disconnected, and thus, normal commands cannot be executed).

The current SDIO code was working in polling mode for boot-mode

Moved all the RX code to use a unified IRQ handler that based on the
type of data the device is sending can discriminate and decide which
is the right destination.
As well, all the reads from the device are made to be at least the

When i2400m_bootrom_init() fails to put the device into a state of
being ready to accept firmware, the driver was currently trying to
reset it if it failed to do so. This is not too useful; as part of
trying to put the device in the right state a few resets have already
been tried.
At this point, things are probably fried out and an extra reset might
do more harm than good (for example causing reseting of other
functions in the same composite device).
So it is left up to the callers to determine the error path to take
(at the end this is always i2400m_setup(), who depending on how many
retries are left, might give up on the device).

This change moves the table of "pokes" performed on the device at boot
time to the bus specific portion of the driver.
Different models of the i2400m device supported by this driver require
different poke tables, thus having a single table that works for all
is impossible. For that, the table is moved to the bus-specific
driver, who can decide which table to use based on the specifics of
the device and point the generic driver to it.

The code that sets up the i2400m (firmware load and general driver
setup after it) includes a couple of retry loops.
The SDIO device sometimes can get in more complicated corners than the
USB one (due to its interaction with other SDIO functions), that
require trying a few more times.
To solve that, without having a failing USB device taking longer to be
considered dead, allow the retry counts to be specified by the
bus-specific driver, which the general driver takes as a parameter.

i2400m_dev_shutdown() tried to reset the device to put it in a known
state before shutting down.
But that turned out to be pointless. We reach this case in two paths:
1 - when the device resets, to clean up state
2 - when the driver is unloaded, for the same
however, in both cases it is pointless; in (1) the device is already
reset, why do it again? in (2) we can't -- the USB stack, for example,
doesn't allow communicating with the device when the driver is being
unbound and if the device is disconnected, the device is gone already.
So just remove it. Leave the function as a placeholder for future
cleanups that will be done from data allocated by the driver during

i2400m_tx_skip_tail() needs to handle the special case of being called
when the tail room that is left over in the FIFO is zero.
This happens when a TX message header was opened at the very end of
the FIFO (without payloads). The i2400m_tx_close() code already marked
said TX message (header) to be skipped and this function should be
doing nothing.
It is called anyway because it is part of a common "corner case" path
handling which takes care of more cases than only this one.
The tail room computation was also improved to take care of the case
when tx_in is at the end of the buffer boundary; tail_room has to be
modded (%) to the buffer size. To do that in a single well-documented
place, __i2400m_tx_tail_room() is introduced and used.
Treat i2400m->tx_in == 0 as a corner case and handle it accordingly.

In some situations, when a new TX message header is started, there
might be no space for data payloads. In this case the message is left
with zero payloads and the i2400m_tx_close() function has just to mark

The i2400m driver waits for the device to report being ready for
entering power save before asking it to do so. This module parameter
allows control of said operation; if disabled, the driver won't ask
the device to enter power save mode.
This is useful in setups where power saving is not so important or
when the overhead imposed by network reentry after power save is not
acceptable; by combining this with parameter 'idle_mode_disabled', the
driver will always maintain both the connection and the device in
active state.

When the i2400m is connected to a network, the host interface (USB)
cannot be suspended. For that to happen, the device has to have
negotiated with the basestation to put the link on IDLE state.
If the host tries to put the device in standby while it is connected
but not idle, the device resets, as the driver should not do that.
To avoid triggering that, when the USB susbsytem requires the driver
to autosuspend the device, the driver checks if the device is not yet
idle. If it is not, the request is requested (will be retried again
later on after the autosuspend timeout). At some point the device will
enter idle and the request will succeed (unless of course, there is
network traffic, but at that point, there is no idle neither in the
link or the host interface).

The WiMAX i2400m driver needs to generate a fake source MAC address to
fake an ethernet header (for destination, the card's MAC is

uses its own namespace and it is not always available.

When the i2400m receives data and the device indicates there has to be
reordering, we keep an sliding window implementation to sort the
packets before sending them to the network stack.
One of the "operations" that the device indicates is "queue a packet
and update the window start". When the queue is empty, this is
equivalent to "deliver the packet and update the window start".
That case was optimized in i2400m_roq_queue_update_ws() so that we
would not pointlessly queue and dequeue a packet. However, when the
optimization was active, it wasn't updating the window start. That
caused the reorder management code to get confused later on with what
seemed to be wrong reorder requests from the device.
Thus the fix implemented is to do the right thing and update the
window start in both cases, when the queue is empty (and the
optimization is done) and when not.

Allow the device to give the driver RX data with reorder information.
When that is done, the device will indicate the driver if a packet has
to be held in a (sorted) queue. It will also tell the driver when held
packets have to be released to the OS.
This is done to improve the WiMAX-protocol level retransmission
support when missing frames are detected.
The code docs provide details about the implementation.
In general, this just hooks into the RX path in rx.c; if a packet with
the reorder bit in the RX header is detected, the reorder information
in the header is extracted and one of the four main reorder operations
are executed. In one case (queue) no packet will be delivered to the
networking stack, just queued, whereas in the others (reset, update_ws
and queue_update_ws), queued packet might be delivered depending on
the window start for the specific queue.
The modifications to files other than rx.c are:
- control.c: during device initialization, enable reordering support
if the rx_reorder_disabled module parameter is not enabled
- driver.c: expose a rx_reorder_disable module parameter and call
i2400m_rx_setup/release() to initialize/shutdown RX reorder
support.
- i2400m.h: introduce members in 'struct i2400m' needed for
implementing reorder support.
- linux/i2400m.h: introduce TLVs, commands and constant definitions
related to RX reorder
Last but not least, the rx reorder code includes an small circular log
where the last N reorder operations are recorded to be displayed in
case of inconsistency. Otherwise diagnosing issues would be almost
impossible.

Newer i2400m firmwares (>= v1.4) extend the data RX protocol so that
each packet has a 16 byte header. This header is mainly used to
implement host reordeing (which is addressed in later commits).
However, this header also allows us to overwrite it (once data has
been extracted) with an Ethernet header and deliver to the networking
stack without having to reallocate the skb (as it happened in fw <=
v1.3) to make room for it.
- control.c: indicate the device [dev_initialize()] that the driver
wants to use the extended data RX protocol. Also involves adding the
definition of the needed data types in include/linux/wimax/i2400m.h.
- rx.c: handle the new payload type for the extended RX data
protocol. Prepares the skb for delivery to
netdev.c:i2400m_net_erx().
- netdev.c: Introduce i2400m_net_erx() that adds the fake ethernet
address to a prepared skb and delivers it to the networking
stack.
- cleanup: in most instances in rx.c, the variable 'single' was
renamed to 'single_last' for it better conveys its meaning.

For power saving reasons, WiMAX links can be put in idle mode while

This patch allows the user to control the time the device has to be
idle before it decides to go to idle mode from a sysfs
interace.
It also updates the initialization code to acknowledge the module
variable 'idle_mode_disabled' when the firmware is a newer version
(upcoming 1.4 vs 2.6.29's v1.3).
The method for setting the idle mode timeout in the older firmwares is

In order to support backwards compatibility with older firmwares when
a driver is updated by a new kernel release, the i2400m bus drivers
can declare a list of firmware files they can work with (in general
these will be each a different version). The firmware loader will try
them in sequence until one loads.
Thus, if a user doesn't have the latest and greatest firmware that a
newly installed kernel would require, the driver would fall back to
the firmware from a previous release.
To support this, the i2400m->bus_fw_name is changed to be a NULL
terminated array firmware file names (and renamed to bus_fw_names) and
we add a new entry (i2400m->fw_name) that points to the name of the
firmware being currently used. All code that needs to print the
firmware file name uses i2400m->fw_name instead of the old
i2400m->bus_fw_name.
The code in i2400m_dev_bootstrap() that loads the firmware is changed
with an iterator over the firmware file name list that tries to load
each form user space, using the first one that succeeds in
request_firmware() (and thus stopping the iteration).
The USB and SDIO bus drivers are updated to take advantage of this and
reflect which firmwares they support.

The reason for this change is that the 1.3 release of the user space

Clearwire.
As well, the new 1.4 release of the user space software (which matches
the 1.4 firmware) has intermitent issues with the 1.3 firmware.
The 1.4 release in http://linuxwimax.org/Download has been widely

and the 1.4 user space components.
We understand it is quite late in the rc process for such a change,
