mac80211, hostapd: always explicitly set beacon interval

2017-05-27T12:24:13+00:00

One of the latest mac80211 updates added sanity checks, requiring the
beacon intervals of all VIFs of the same radio to match. This often broke
AP+11s setups, as these modes use different default intervals, at least in
some configurations (observed on ath9k).

Instead of relying on driver or hostapd defaults, change the scripts to
always explicitly set the beacon interval, defaulting to 100. This also
applies the beacon interval to 11s interfaces, which had been forgotten
before. VIF-specific beacon_int setting is removed from hostapd.sh.

Fixes FS#619.

mac80211: start hostapd with logging wpa_printf messages to syslog

2017-02-05T21:33:05+00:00

Some debugging/error messages are printed using wpa_printf and this
change allows finally reading them out of the syslog.

 - Fix calculation of `$vht_cap` bit field
 - Replace wrong reference to `$tx_stbc` variable with proper `$tx_stbc_2by1` one
 - Emit proper `RX-STBC-{1,12,123,1234}` tokens for the VHT capability list

The "iw" utility expects the VHT80 to be specified as uppercase "80MHZ",
change the script to reflect that.

mac80211: restricted automatic channel selection

2015-11-08T20:40:15+00:00

Add a new config option "channels" for mac80211 wifi devices. It's only
valid if automatic channel selection is used and restricts the channel
selection to one of the given channels.

	list channels	1
	list channels	6

mac80211: set mcast-rate for mesh point interfaces

2015-11-07T12:52:01+00:00

In order to set the multicast rate for mesh point interfaces the "mesh join"
was made explicit and moved to mac80211_setup_vif(), similar to how it is
done for IBSS interfaces.

Previously, the mesh join was made implicit in case authentication (i.e.
$key) was not used when creating the interface in mac80211_prepare_vif(),
while using authentication would create the interface first, then join
later in mac80211_setup_vif() by starting authsae.
