***************
*** 513,562 ****
IEEE 802.11 wireless stack improvements and bugfixes:
! - Fixed a bug where outstanding frames on the iwn(4) aggregation queue
! interfered with roaming to another AP.
!
- Implemented a workaround for missing Tx completion interrupts
! in iwm(4) which could lead
! to failures when roaming to another AP.
!
- Re-enabled firmware-based Tx retries at lower rates for iwm(4), reducing packet loss.
!
- Fixed automatic Tx rate control issues in iwn(4), and iwm(4).
!
- Fixed a race condition in iwm(4) Rx interrupt handling.
- Added support for active scanning to bwfm(4).
- Fix bwfm(4) behavior which
could trigger the ifq pressure drop mechanism under moderate load.
- Improved error handling for bwfm(4) connection attempts.
-
- Fixed the ifconfig(8) "media:" line
- displayed during and after a background scan in 11n mode.
-
- Fix kernel crashes in net802111 hostap mode due to mbuf corruption
- which occurred if a relatively long SSID was configured.
-
- Avoid repeated repeated switching between APs in areas where APs
- are tuned for low transmit range.
-
- Increased the net80211 node cache size to allow more APs to be viewed during scans.
-
- Reduced stalls on packet loss in 11n mode by improving net80211 handling
- of the Rx block ack sequence number window and queue.
-
- Stop connecting to any available unencrypted wifi networks when an
- interface is marked up. This behavior must now be explicitly enabled
- with
ifconfig(8) join
- ""
.
- Improved automatic switching between wifi networks by lowering the priority
of networks in the ifconfig(8) join list which
fail to connect.
!
- A background scan is now triggered when root runs the ifconfig(8) scan command.
! This updates the list of cached APs displayed by the scan command and
! forces a search for a better AP to roam to.
- Raised net80211's "beacon miss" threshold to avoid frequent
reconnects under conditions which cause loss of beacons.
!
- Made background scans less frequent if they keep choosing the same AP.
