iwl3945 : Fix a-band association for passive channels
Patch does following things
1) This patch fixes the a-band association for passive channels with new
uCode feature that it allows direct scan on passive channels after
auto-switch from passive to active. This enables sending of direct probes
on passive channels, as long as some traffic is detected on that channel.
This improves the scanning for hidden SSIDs in A-band,which is all
passive channels.
This patch fixes the bug no 1748.
http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1748
2) This fix will only work with uCode version 15.28.2.8 and above.
Prior versions of uCode would work only if we heard the traffic within
active dwell time, which is much shorter than passive dwell time and
is shorter than typical beacon periods. This patch also provids full
active dwell time even if we hear traffic late in passive dwell.
3) uCode API version is incremented to 2.

net: /proc/net/ip_mr_cache, display Iif as a signed short
Today, iproute2 fails to show multicast forwarding unresolved cache
entries while scanning /proc/net/ip_mr_cache.
Indeed, it expects to see -1 in 'Iif' column to identify unresolved
entries but the kernel outputs 65535. It's a signed/unsigned issue:
'Iif', the source interface, is retrieved from member mfc_parent in
struct mfc_cache. mfc_parent is a vifi_t: unsigned short, but is
displayed in ipmr_mfc_seq_show() as "%-3d", signed integer.
In unresolevd entries, the 65535 value (0xFFFF) comes from this define:
#define ALL_VIFS ((vifi_t)(-1))
That may explains why the guy who added support for this in iproute2
thought a -1 should be expected.
I don't know if this must be fixed in kernel or in iproute2. Who is
right? What is the correct API? How was it designed originally?
I let you decide if it should goes in the kernel or be fixed in iproute2.

The first line is correct. It is a resolved cache entry, 10 packets used it...
The second line represents an unresolved entry, and the columns Pkts(4th),
Bytes(5th) and Wrong(6th) just show garbage.
In struct mfc_cache, there's an union to store data for resolved and
unresolved cases. And what ipmr_mfc_seq_show() is printing in these
columns for the unresolved entries is some bytes from mfc_cache.mfc_un.res.
Bad.
(eg. In our case -
559067475 is in fact 0xdead4ead which is the spinlock
magic from mfc_cache.mfc_un.unres.unresolved.lock.magic).
This patch replaces the garbage data written in these columns for the
unresolved entries by '0' (zeros) which is more correct.
This change doesn't break the ABI.
Also, mfc->mfc_un.res.pkt, mfc->mfc_un.res.bytes, mfc->mfc_un.res.wrong_if
are unsigned long.
It applies on top of net-next-2.6.
The patch for net-2.6 is slightly different because of the NIP6_FMT to
%pI6 conversion that was made in the seq_printf.

* Instead of breaking the ABI by suppressing the columns that have no

atm: 32-bit ioctl compatibility
We lack compat ioctl support through most of the ATM code. This patch
deals with most of it, and I can now at least use BR2684 and PPPoATM
with 32-bit userspace.
I haven't added a .compat_ioctl method to struct atm_ioctl, because
AFAICT none of the current users need any conversion -- so we can just
call the ->ioctl() method in every case. I looked at br2684, clip, lec,
mpc, pppoatm and atmtcp.
In svc_compat_ioctl() the only mangling which is needed is to change
COMPAT_ATM_ADDPARTY to ATM_ADDPARTY. Although it's defined as
_IOW('a', ATMIOC_SPECIAL+4,struct atm_iobuf)
it doesn't actually _take_ a struct atm_iobuf as an argument -- it takes
a struct sockaddr_atmsvc, which _is_ the same between 32-bit and 64-bit
code, so doesn't need conversion.
Almost all of vcc_ioctl() would have been identical, so I converted that
into a core do_vcc_ioctl() function with an 'int compat' argument.
I've done the same with atm_dev_ioctl(), where there _are_ a few
differences, but still it's relatively contained and there would
otherwise have been a lot of duplication.
I haven't done any of the actual device-specific ioctls, although I've
added a compat_ioctl method to struct atmdev_ops.

forcedeth: power down phy when interface is down
Bring the physical link down when the interface is down by placing the PHY
in power-down state, unless WOL is enabled. This mirrors the behavior of
other drivers including e1000 and tg3.
Without the patch, ifconfig down leaves the physical link up, which confuses
datacenter users who expect the link lights both on the NIC and the switch to
go out when they bring an interface down.
Furthermore, even though the phy is powered on, autonegotiation stops working,
so a normally gigabit link might suddenly become 100 Mbit half-duplex when the
interface goes down, and become gigabit when it comes up again.

I would not include this patch until further testing is performed. NVIDIA
MCP chips use 3rd party PHY vendors. By powering down the phy, it could
have adverse affects on certain phys.

I just ran across this patch. Tested on a Marvell 88E1121R (GigE PHY)
and works great. This is a very important feature for me.
