Summary

Flags

  • IEEE80211_F_ASCAN
  • IEEE80211_F_SIBSS
  • IEEE80211_F_IBSSON

are not used since rS170530 (were used in old WI compatibility ioctls) / rS178354 (were removed from other places).

Not touched in this revision:

  • IEEE80211_F_COMP flag with unknown purpose;
  • IEEE80211_F_TXPOW_FIXED (never utilized); was initially added with IEEE80211_F_TXPOW_AUTO / IEEE80211_F_TXPOW_OFF flags, which were accidentally removed in rS138568. Looks like they are should be just restored, so driver can choose between EEPROM / manually chosen Tx power settings (if I understand the description correctly).

Hmm, so what to do with IEEE80211_F_COMP / IEEE80211_F_TXPOW_FIXED (AUTO/OFF) ?

I think we can remove the txpow flags; I'd rather we use the txpower config methods we have now.

F_COMP - leave that there for now; i may eventually add compression support for AR5212 chips.
