Wireless Module Interface (WMI) Documentaion

   This section describes the format and the usage model for WMI control and
   data messages between the host and the AR6000-based targets. The header
   file include/wmi.h contains all command and event manifest constants as
   well as structure typedefs for each set of command and reply parameters.

Data Frames

   The data payload transmitted and received by the target follows RFC-1042
   encapsulation and thus starts with an 802.2-style LLC-SNAP header. The
   WLAN module completes 802.11 encapsulation of the payload, including the
   MAC header, FCS, and WLAN security related fields. At the interface to the
   message transport (HTC), a data frame is encapsulated in a WMI message.

WMI Message Structure

   The WMI protocol leverages an 802.3-style Ethernet header in communicating
   the source and destination information between the host and the AR6000
   modules using a 14-byte 802.3 header ahead of the 802.2-style payload. In
   addition, the WMI protocol adds a header to all data messages:

    {
    INT8    rssi
                  The RSSI of the received packet and its units are shown in db above the
                      noise floor, and the noise floor is shown in dbm.
    UINT8   info
                      Contains information on message type and user priority. Message type
                      differentiates between a data packet and a synchronization message.
    } WMI_DATA_HDR

   User priority contains the 802.1d user priority info from host to target. Host
   software translates the host Ethernet format to 802.3 format prior to Tx and
   802.3 format to host format in the Rx direction. The host does not transmit the
   FCS that follows the data. MsgType differentiates between a regular data
   packet (msgType=0) and a synchronization message (msgType=1).

Data Endpoints

   The AR6000 chipset provides several data endpoints to support quality of
   service (QoS) and maintains separate queues and separate DMA engines for
   each data endpoint. A data endpoint can be bi-directional.

   Best effort (BE) class traffic uses the default data endpoint (2). The host can
   establish up to two additional data endpoints for other traffic classes. Once
   such a data endpoint is established, it sends and receives corresponding QoS
   traffic in a manner similar to the default data endpoint.

   If QoS is desired over the interconnect, host software must classify each data
   packet and place it on the appropriate data endpoint. The information
   required to classify data is generally available in-band as an 802.1p/q style
   tag or as the ToS field in the IP header. The information may also be available
   out-of-band depending on the host DDI.

Connection States

   Table B-1 describes the AR6000 WLAN connection states:

   Table B-1.  AR6000 Connection States

Connection State
    Description

   DISCONNECTED
    In this state, the AR6000 device is not connected to a wireless
   network. The device is in this state after reset when it sends the
   WIRELESS MODULE “READY” EVENT, after it processes a
   DISCONNECT command, and when it loses its link with the
   access point (AP) that it was connected to. The device signals a
   transition to the DISCONNECTED state with a “DISCONNECT”
   event.

CONNECTED
    In this state, the AR6000 device is connected to wireless networks.
   The device enters this state after successfully processing a
   CONNECT, which establishes a connection with a wireless
   network. The device signals a transition to the CONNECTED state
   with a “CONNECT” event.


Message Types

   WMI uses commands, replies, and events for the control and configuration of
   the AR6000 device. The control protocol is asynchronous. Table B-2 describes
   AR6000 message types:

Table B-2.  AR6000 Message Types

Message Type
    Description

Commands
    Control messages that flow from the host to the device

Replies/Events
    Control messages that flow from the device to the host.

   The device issues a reply to some WMI commands, but not to others.
   The payload in a reply is command-specific, and some commands do
   not trigger a reply message at all. Events are control messages issued
   by the device to signal the occurrence of an asynchronous event.


WMI Message Format

   All WMI control commands, replies and events use the header format:

   WMI_CMD_HDR Header Format
   {
        UINT16 id
                 This 16-bit constant identifies which WMI command the host is issuing,
                 which command the target is replying to, or which event has occurred.
        WMI_CMD_HDR
   }


   A variable-size command-, reply-, or event-specific payload follows the
   header. Over the interconnect, all fields in control messages (including
   WMI_CMD_HDR and the command specific payload) use 32-bit little Endian
   byte ordering and fields are packed. The AR6000 device always executes
   commands in order, and the host may send multiple commands without
   waiting for previous commands to complete. A majority of commands are
   processed to completion once received. Other commands trigger a longer
   duration activity whose completion is signaled to the host through an event.

Command Restrictions

   Some commands may only be issued when the AR6000 device is in a certain
   state. The host is required to wait for an event signaling a state transition
   before such a command can be issued. For example, if a command requires
   the device to be in the CONNECTED state, then the host is required to wait
   for a “CONNECT” event before it issues that command.

   The device ignores any commands inappropriate for its current state. If the
   command triggers a reply, the device generates an error reply. Otherwise, the
   device silently ignores the inappropriate command.

Command and Data Synchronization

   WMI provides a mechanism for a host to advise the device of necessary
   synchronization between commands and data. The device implements
   synchronization; no implicit synchronization exists between endpoints.

   The host controls synchronization using the “SYNCHRONIZE” command
   over the control channel and synchronization messages over data channels.
   The device stops each data channel upon receiving a synchronization message
   on that channel, processing all data packets received prior to that message.
   After the device receives synchronization messages for each data endpoint
   and the “SYNCHRONIZE” command, it resumes all channels.

   When the host must guarantee a command executes before processing new
   data packets, it first issues the command, then issues the “SYNCHRONIZE”
   command and sends synchronization messages on data channels. When the
   host must guarantee the device has processed all old data packets before a
   processing a new command, it issues a “SYNCHRONIZE” command and
   synchronization messages on all data channels, then issues the desired
   command.

    AR6000. The ADD_CIPHER_KEY command is issued after the CONNECT event
    has been received by the host for all dot11Auth modes except for SHARED_AUTH.
    When the dot11AuthMode is SHARED_AUTH, then the ADD_CIPHER_KEY
    command should be issued before the “CONNECT” command.

=====================================================================


Name
    ADD_WOW_PATTERN

Synopsis
    The host uses this command to add a pattern to the WoW pattern list; used for
    pattern-matching for host wakeups by the WoW module. If the host mode is asleep
    and WoW is enabled, all packets are matched against the existing WoW patterns. If a
    packet matches any of the patterns specified, the target will wake up the host. All
    non-matching packets are discarded by the target without being sent up to the host.

Command
    wmiconfig –addwowpattern <list-id> <filter-size> <filter-offset>
    <pattern> <mask>

Command Parameters
    A_UINT8  filter_list_id    ID of the list that is to include the new pattern
    A_UINT8  filter_size       Size of the new pattern
    A_UINT8  filter_offset     Offset at which the pattern matching for this
                                new pattern should begin at
    A_UINT8  filter[1]         Byte stream that contains both the pattern and
                                the mask of the new WoW wake-up pattern

Reply Parameters

Name
    CLR_RSSI_SNR

Synopsis
    Clears the current calculated RSSI and SNR value. RSSI and SNR are reported by
    running-average value. This command will clear the history and have a fresh start
    for the running-average mechanism.

Command
    wmiconfig eth1 --cleanRssiSnr

Command Parameters
    None

Reply Parameters
    None

Reset Value
    None defined

Restrictions
    None

=====================================================================

Name
    CONNECT_CMD

Synopsis
    New connect control information (connectCtrl) is added, with 32 possible modifiers.

    CONNECT_SEND_REASSOC
        Valid only for a host-controlled connection to a
        particular AP. If this bit is set, a reassociation frame is
        sent. If this bit is clear, an association request frame is
        sent to the AP.

    CONNECT_IGNORE_WPAx_GROUP_CIPHER
        No group key is issued in the CONNECT command,
        so use the group key advertised by the AP. In a target-
        initiated roaming situation this allows a STA to roam
        between APs that support different multicast ciphers.

    CONNECT_PROFILE_MATCH_DONE
        In a host-controlled connection case, it is possible that
        during connect, firmware may not have the
        information for a profile match (e.g, when the AP
        supports hidden SSIDs and the device may not
        transmit probe requests during connect). By setting
        this bit in the connection control information, the
        firmware waits for a beacon from the AP with the
        BSSID supplied in the CONNECT command. No
        additional profile checks are done.

    CONNECT_IGNORE_AAC_BEACON
        Ignore the Admission Capacity information in the
        beacon of the AP

    CONNECT_ASSOC_POLICY_USER
        When set, the CONNECT_SEND_REASSOC setting
        determines if an Assoc or Reassoc is sent to an AP

Command
    wmiconfig --setconnectctrl <ctrl flags bitmask>

Name
    CREATE_PSTREAM

Synopsis
    The host uses this command to create a new prioritized data endpoint between the
    host and the AR6000 device that carries a prioritized stream of data. If the AP that the
    device connects to requires TSPEC stream establishment, the device requests the
    corresponding TSPEC with the AP. The maximum and minimum service interval
    ranges from 0 – 0x7FFFFFFF (ms), where 0 = disabled. The device does not send a
    reply event for this command, as it is always assumed the command has succeeded.
    An AP admission control response comes to the host via a WMI_CAC_INDICATION
    event, once the response for the ADDTS frame comes.

    Examples of cases where reassociation is generated (when WMM) and cases where
    ADDTS is generated (when WMM and enabling ACM) are when:
        Changing UAPSD flags in WMM mode, reassociation is generated
        Changing the interval of sending auto QoS Null frame in WMM mode;
            reassociation is not generated
        Issuing a command with same previous parameters in WMM mode and enabling
            ACM, an ADDTS request is generated
        Changing the interval of a QoS null frame sending in WMM mode and enabling
            ACM, an ADDTS request is generated
        Issuing the command in disconnected state, reassociation or ADDTS is not
            generated but the parameters are available after (re)association

Command
    --createqos <user priority> <direction> <traffic class>
<trafficType> <voice PS capability> <min service interval> <max

Name
    SET_BEACON_INT

Synopsis
    Sets the beacon interval for an ad hoc network. Beacon interval selection may have an
    impact on power savings. To some degree, a longer interval reduces power
    consumption but also decreases throughput. A thorough understanding of IEEE
    802.11 ad hoc networks is required to use this command effectively.

Command
    wmiconfig eth1 --ibssconintv

Command Parameters
    UINT16    beaconInterval    Specifies the beacon interval in TU units (1024 ms)

Command Values
    None

Reset Values
    The default beacon interval is 100 TUs (102.4 ms)

Restrictions
    This command can only be issued before the AR6000 device starts an ad hoc network

Name
    SET_BMISS_TIME

Synopsis
    This command sets the beacon miss (BMISS) time, which the AR6000 hardware use
    to recognize missed beacons. When an excessive number (15) of consecutive beacons
    are missed, the AR6000 consider switching to a different BSS. The time can be
    specified in number of beacons or in TUs.

Command(s)
    wmiconfig eth1 --setbmissbeacons=<val>
    wmiconfig eth1 --setbmisstime=<val>

Command Parameters
    UINT16    bmissTime    Specifies the beacon miss time
                            [1000...5000] in TUs (1024 ms)
    UINT16    bmissbeacons  Specifies the number of beacons [5...50]

Command Values
    None

Reset Values
    bmissTime is 1500 TUs (1536 ms)

Restrictions
    None

=====================================================================


Name
    SET_BSS_FILTER

Synopsis
    The host uses this to inform the AR6000 device of the types of networks about which
    it wants to receive information from the “BSSINFO” event. As the device performs
    either foreground or background scans, it applies the filter and sends “BSSINFO”
    events only for the networks that pass the filter. If any of the  bssFilter or the ieMask
    filter matches, a BSS Info is sent to the host. The ieMask currently is used as a match
    for the IEs in the beacons, probe reponses and channel switch action management
    frame. See also “Scan and Roam” on page C-1.

    The BSS filter command has been enhanced to support IE based filtering. The IEs can
    be specified as a bitmask through this command using this enum.

Command
    wmiconfig eth1 –filter = <filter> --ieMask 0x<mask>

Command Parameters
    UINT8    BssFilter

 Command Values
    typedef struct {
        A_UINT8    bssFilter;    See WMI_BSS_FILTER
        A_UINT32    ieMask;
    } __ATTRIB_PACK WMI_BSS_FILTER_CMD;

    The ieMask can take this combination of values:

    enum {
        BSS_ELEMID_CHANSWITCH   = 0x01
        BSS_ELEMID_ATHEROS      = 0x02,
    }

Name
    SET_CHANNEL_PARAMETERS

Synopsis
    Configures various WLAN parameters related to channels, sets the wireless mode,
    and can restrict the AR6000 device to a subset of available channels. The list of
    available channels varies depending on the wireless mode and the regulatory
    domain. The device never operates on a channel outside of its regulatory domain. The
    device starts to scan the list of channels right after this command.

Command
    wmiconfig eth1 --wmode <mode> <list>

Command Parameters
    UINT8    phyMode    See Values below.
    UINT8    numberOfChannels
        Number of channels in the channel array that
        follows. If = 0, then the device uses all of the
        channels permitted by the regulatory domain
        and by the specified phyMode.
    UINT16    channel[numberOfChannels]
        Array listing the subset of channels (expressed
        as frequencies in MHz) the host wants the
        device to use. Any channel not permitted by
        the specified phyMode or by the specified
        regulatory domain is ignored by the device.

Command Values
    phyMode = {
        Wireless mode
        11a    = 0x01
        11g    = 0x02
        11ag   = 0x03
        11b    = 0x04
        11g only    = 0x05
        }

Reset Values
    phyMode
    11ag
    802.11a/g modules
        11g
    802.11g module
    channels
        Defaults to all channels permitted by the
        current regulatory domain.

Restrictions
    This command, if issued, should be issued soon after reset and prior to the first
    connection. This command should only be issued in the DISCONNECTED state.

=====================================================================


Name
    SET_DISC_TIMEOUT

Synopsis
    The host uses this command to configure the amount of time that the AR6000 should
    spend when it attempts to reestablish a connection after losing link with its current
    BSS. If this time limit is exceeded, the AR6000 send a “DISCONNECT” event. After
    sending the “DISCONNECT” event the AR6000 continues to attempt to reestablish a
    connection, but they do so at the interval corresponding to a foreground scan as
    established by the “SET_SCAN_PARAMS” command.

    A timeout value of 0 indicates that the AR6000 will disable all autonomous roaming,
    so that the AR6000 will not perform any scans after sending a “DISCONNECT”
    event to the host. The state is maintained until a shutdown or host sets different
    timeout value from 0.

Command
    wmiconfig eth1 --disc=<timeout in seconds>

Command Parameters
    UINT8    disconnectTimeout
        Specifies the time limit (in seconds) after
        which a failure to reestablish a connection
        results in a “DISCONNECT” event

Command Values
    None

Reset Values
    disconnectTimeout is 10 seconds

Restrictions
    This command can only be issued while in a DISCONNECTED state

=====================================================================


Name
    SET_FIXRATES

Synopsis
    By default, the AR6000 device uses all PHY rates based on mode of operation. If the
    host application requires the device to use subset of supported rates, it can set those
    rates with this command. In 802.11g mode, the AR6000 device takes the entire
    802.11g basic rate set and the rates specified with this command and uses it as the
    supported rate set.

    This rate set is advertised in the probe request and the assoc/re-assoc request as
    supported rates. Upon successful association, the device modifies the rate set pool
    using the: intersection of AP-supported rates with the union of the 802.11g basic rate
    set and rates set using this command. The device picks transmission rates from this
    pool based on a rate control algorithm.

Command
    TBD

Command Parameters
    A_UINT16    fixRateMask;
        The individual bit is an index for rate table,
        and setting the that index to 1 would set that
        corresponding rate. E.g., fixRateMask = 9
        (1001) sets 1 Mbps and 11 Mbps.

Command Values
    None

Reset Value
    None defined

Restrictions
    None

=====================================================================


Name
    SET_HOST_SLEEP_MODE

Synopsis
    The host uses this command to set the host mode to asleep or awake. All packets are
    delivered to the host when the host mode is awake. When host mode is asleep, only if
    WoW is enabled and the incoming packet matches one of the specified WoW
    patterns, will the packet be delivered to the host. The host will also be woken up by
    the target for pattern-matching packets and important events.

Command
    wmiconfig –sethostmode=<asleep/awake>

Command Parameters
    A_BOOL    awake    Set the host mode to awake
    A_BOOL    asleep   Set the host mode to asleep

Command Values
    1 = awake, 0 = asleep

Reset Value
    None defined (default host mode is awake)

Restrictions
    None


=====================================================================

Name
    SET_IBSS_PM_CAPS

Synopsis
    Used to support a non-standard power management scheme for an ad hoc wireless
    network consisting of up to eight stations (STAs) that support this form of power
    saving (e.g., Atheros-based STAs). A thorough understanding of IEEE 802.11 ad hoc
    networks is required to use this command effectively.

Command
    wmiconfig eth1 --ibsspmcaps --ps=<enable/disable>
        --aw=<ATIM Windows in ms>
        --ttl=<Time to live in number of beacon periods>
        --to=<timeout in ms>

Command Parameters
    UINT8    power_saving
        = 0
        The non-standard power saving scheme is
        disabled and maximum throughput (with no
        power saving) is obtained.

        = 1
        Ad hoc power saving scheme is enabled (but
        throughput may be decreased)

    UINT16    atim_windows
        Specifies the length (in ms) of the ad hoc traffic
        indication message (ATIM) windows used in an ad
        hoc network. All Atheros-based STAs that join the
        network use this duration ATIM window.

    The duration is communicated between wireless
    STAs through an IE in beacons and probe responses.

    The host sets atim_windows to control trade-offs
    between power use and throughput. The value
    chosen should be based on the beacon interval (see
    the “SET_BEACON_INT” command) on the
    expected number of STAs in the IBSS, and on the
    amount of traffic and traffic patterns between STAs.

    UINT16    timeout_value
        Specifies the timeout (in ms). The value is the same
        for all ad hoc connections, but tracks separately for
        each.

        Applicable only for a beacon period and used to
        derive actual timeout values on the Tx and Rx sides.
        On the Tx side, the value defines a window during
        which the STA accepts the frame(s) from the host for a
        particular connection. Until closed, the window
        restarts with every frame received from the host. On
        the Rx side, indicates the time until which the STA
        continues accepting frames from a particular
        connection. The value resets with every frame
        received. The value can be used to determine the
        trade off between throughput and power.
        Default = 10 ms

    UINT8    ttl
        Specifies the value in number of beacon periods. The
        value is used to set a limit on the time until which a
        frame is kept alive in the AR6001 before being
        discarded. Default = 5

Command Values
    None

Reset Values
    By default, power_saving is enabled with atim_window = 20 ms

Restrictions
    Can only be issued before the AR6000 starts an ad hoc network

See Also
    “SET_BEACON_INT”

=====================================================================



Name
    SET_LISTEN_INT

Synopsis
    The host uses this command to request a listen interval, which determines how often
    the AR6000 device should wake up and listen for traffic. The listen interval can be set
    by the TUs or by the number of beacons. The device may not be able to comply with
    the request (e.g., if the beacon interval is greater than the requested listen interval, the
    device sets the listen interval to the beacon interval). The actual listen interval used
    by the device is available in the “CONNECT” event.

Command
    wmiconfig eth1 --listen=<#of TUs, can range from 15 to 3000>

    --listenbeacons=<#of beacons, can range from 1 to 50>

Command Parameters
    UINT16    listenInterval
        Specifies the listen interval in Kms
        (1024 ms), ranging from 100 to 1000

    UINT16    listenbeacons
        Specifies the listen interval in beacons,
        ranging from 1 to 50

Command Values
    None

Reset Values
    The device sets the listen interval equal to the beacon interval of the AP it associates
    to.

Restrictions
    None

Name
    SET_PMKID

Synopsis
    The host uses this command to enable or disable a pairwise master key ID (PMKID)
    in the AR6000 PMKID cache. The AR6000 clears its PMKID cache on receipt of a
    DISCONNECT command from the host. Individual entries in the cache might be
    deleted as the AR6000 detect new APs and decides to remove old ones.

=====================================================================


Name
    SET_POWER_MODE

Synopsis
    The host uses this command to provide the AR6000 device with guidelines on the
    desired trade-off between power utilization and performance.

        In normal power mode, the device enters a sleep state if they have nothing to do,
        which conserves power but may cost performance as it can take up to 2 ms to
        resume operation after leaving sleep state.

        In maximum performance mode, the device never enters sleep state, thus no time
        is spent waking up, resulting in higher power consumption and better
        performance.

Command
    TBD

Command Parameters
    UINT8    powerMode
        WMI_POWER_MODE value
    {
        REC_POWER   = 1
            (Recommended setting) Tries to conserve
            power without sacrificing performance
        MAX_PERF_POWER    = 2
            Setting that maximizes performance at
            the expense of power

            All other values are reserved
    } WMI_POWER_MODE

Command Values
    See command parameters

Reset Values
    powerMode is REC_POWER

Restrictions
    This command should only be issued in the DISCONNECTED state for the
    infrastructure network.

            For a PM-disabled ad hoc network, the power mode should remain in
            MAX_PERF_POWER.

            For a PM-enabled ad hoc network, the device can have REC_POWER or
            MAX_PERF_POWER set, but either way it must follow the power save ad hoc
            protocol. The host can change power modes in the CONNECTED state.

    Host changes to the PS setting when the STA is off the home channel take no effect
    and cause a TARGET_PM_FAIL event.

Name
    SET_ROAM_CTRL

Synopsis
    Affects how the AR6000 device selects a BSS. The host uses this command to set and
    enable low RSSI scan parameters. The time period of low RSSI background scan is
    mentioned in scan period. Low RSSI scan is triggered when the current RSSI
    threshold (75% of current RSSI) is equal to or less than scan threshold.

    Low RSSI roam is triggered when the current RSSI threshold falls below the roam
    threshold and roams to a better AP by the end of the scan cycle. During Low RSSI
    roam, if the STA finds a new AP with an RSSI greater than roam RSSI to floor, during
    scan, it roams immediately to it instead of waiting for the end of the scan cycle. See
    also “Scan and Roam” on page C-1.

Command
    wmiconfig --roam <roamctrl> <info>, where info is <scan period>
    <scan threshold> <roam threshold> <roam rssi floor>

=====================================================================

Name
    SET_SCAN_PARAMS

Synopsis
    The host uses this command to set the AR6000 scan parameters, including the duty
    cycle for both foreground and background scanning. Foreground scanning takes
    place when the AR6000 device is not connected, and discovers all available wireless
    networks to find the best BSS to join. Background scanning takes place when the
    device is already connected to a network and scans for potential roaming candidates
    and maintains them in order of best to worst. A second priority of background
    scanning is to find new wireless networks.

    The device initiates a scan when necessary. For example, a foreground scan is always
    started on receipt of a “CONNECT_CMD” command or when the device cannot find
    a BSS to connect to. Foreground scanning is disabled by default until receipt of a
    CONNECT command. Background scanning is enabled by default and occurs every
    60 seconds after the device is connected.

    The device implements a binary backoff interval for foreground scanning when it
    enters the DISCONNECTED state after losing connectivity with an AP or when a
    CONNECT command is received. The first interval is ForegroundScanStartPeriod,
    which doubles after each scan until the interval reaches ForegroundScanEndPeriod.
    If the host terminates a connection with DISCONNECT, the foreground scan period
    is ForegroundScanEndPeriod. All scan intervals are measured from the time a full
    scan ends to the time the next full scan starts. The host starts a scan by issuing a
    “START_SCAN” command. See also “Scan and Roam” on page C-1.

Command
    wmiconfig eth1 --scan --fgstart=<sec> --fgend=<sec> --bg=<sec> --
    act=<msec> --pas=<msec> --sr=<short scan ratio> --scanctrlflags
    <connScan> <scanConnected> <activeScan> <reportBSSINFO>

Command Parameters
    UINT16    fgStartPeriod
        First interval used by the device when it
        disconnects from an AP or receives a
        CONNECT command, specified in seconds (0–
        65535). If = 0, the device uses the reset value.
        If = 65535, the device disables foreground
        scanning.

    UINT16    fgEndPeriod
        The maximum interval the device waits between
        foreground scans specified in seconds (from
        ForegroundScanStartPeriod to 65535). If = 0, the
        device uses the reset value.

    UINT16    bgScanPeriod
        The period of background scan specified in
        seconds (0–65535). By default, it is set to the reset
        value of 60 seconds. If 0 or 65535 is specified, the
        device disables background scanning.

    UINT16    maxactChDwellTime
        The period of time the device stays on a
        particular channel while active scanning. It is
        specified in ms (10–65535). If the special value of
        0 is specified, the device uses the reset value.

    UINT16    PasChDwellTime
        The period of time the device remains on a
        particular channel while passive scanning. It is
        specified in ms (10–65535). If the special value of
        0 is specified, the device uses the reset value.

    UINT8    shortScanRatio
        Number of short scans to perform for each
        long scan.

    UINT8    scanCtrlFlasgs

    UINT16    minactChDwellTime

Name
    BSSINFO

Synopsis
    Contains information describing one or more BSSs as collected during a scan.
    Information includes the BSSID, SSID, RSSI, network type, channel, supported rates,
    and IEs. BSSINFO events are sent only after the device receives a beacon or probe-
    response frame that pass the filter specified in the “SET_BSS_FILTER” command.
    BSSINFO events consist of a small header followed by a copy of the beacon or probe
    response frame. The 802.11 header is not present. For formats of beacon and probe-
    response frames please consult the IEEE 802.11 specification.

    The beacons or probe responses containing the IE specified by the
    WMI_BSS_FILTER_CMD are passed to the host through the
    WMI_BSSINFO_EVENT. The event carries a 32-bit bitmask that indicates the IEs that
    were detected in the management frame. The frame type field has been extended to
    indicate action management frames. This would be helpful to route these frames
    through the same event mechanism as used by the beacon processing function.

    If the bssFilter in the SET_BSS_FILTER matches, then the ieMask is not relevant
    because the BSSINFO event is sent to the host. If the bssFilter doesnot match in the
    beacons/probe respones, then the ieMask match dictates whether the BSSINFO
    event is sent to the host. In the case of action management frames, the ieMask is the
    filter that is applied.

WMI Extension Commands

The WMI EXTENSION command is used to multiplex a collection of
commands that:

        Are not generic wireless commands
        May be implementation-specific
        May be target platform-specific
        May be optional for a host implementation

    An extension command is sent to the AR6000 targets like any other WMI
command message and uses the WMI_EXTENSION. The first field of the
payload for this EXTENSION command is another commandId, sometimes
called the subcommandId, which indicates which extension command is
being used. A subcommandId-specific payload follows the subcommandId.

All extensions (subcommandIds) are listed in the header file include/wmix.h.
See also “WMI Extension Events” on page B-58.


WMI Extension Commands


GPIO_INPUT_GET
    Read GPIO pins configured for input

GPIO_INTR_ACK
    Acknowledge and re-arm GPIO interrupts reported earlier

GPIO_OUTPUT_SET
    Manage output on GPIO pins configured for output

GPIO_REGISTER_GET
    Read an arbitrary GPIO register

GPIO_REGISTER_SET
    Dynamically change GPIO configuration

SET_LQTHRESHOLD
    Set link quality thresholds; the sampling happens at every unicast
    data frame Tx, if certain thresholds are met, and corresponding
    events are sent to the host


=====================================================================

Name
    GPIO_INPUT_GET

Synopsis
    Allows the host to read GPIO pins that are configured for input. The values read are
    returned through a “GPIO_DATA” extension event.

=====================================================================


Name
    GPIO_INTR_ACK

Synopsis
    The host uses this command to acknowledge and to re-arm GPIO interrupts reported
    through an earlier “GPIO_INTR” extension event. A single “GPIO_INTR_ACK”
    command should be used to acknowledge all GPIO interrupts that the host knows to
    be outstanding (if pending interrupts are not acknowledged through
    “GPIO_INTR_ACK”, another “GPIO_INTR” extension event is raised).

NOTE: Support for GPIO is optional.

Command
    N/A

Command Parameters
    UINT32    ack_mask
        A mask of interrupting GPIO pins (e.g., ack_mask
        bit [3] acknowledges an interrupt from the pin GPIO3).

Command Values
    None

Reset Value
    None

Restrictions
    The host should acknowledge only interrupts about which it was notified.


=====================================================================

Name
    GPIO_OUTPUT_SET

Synopsis
    Manages output on GPIO pins configured for output.

    Conflicts between set_mask and clear_mask or enable_mask and disable_mask result
    in undefined behavior.

NOTE: Support for GPIO is optional.

Command
    N/A

Command Parameters
    UINT32    set_mask
        Specifies which pins should drive a 1 out

WMI Extension Events

The WMI EXTENSION event is used for a collection of events that:

    Are not generic wireless events
    May be implementation-specific
    May be target platform-specific
    May be optional for a host implementation

    An extension event is sent from the AR6000 device targets to the host just like
any other WMI event message, using the WMI_EXTENSION_EVENTID. The
first field of the payload for this “EXTENSION” event is another commandId
(sometimes called the subcommandId) that indicates which “EXTENSION”
event is being used. A subcommandId-specific payload follows the
subcommandId.

All extensions (subcommandIds) are listed in the header file include/wmix.h.
See also “WMI Extension Commands” on page B-55.


WMI Extension Events


GPIO_ACK
    Acknowledges a host set command has been processed by the device

GPIO_DATA
    Response to a host’s request for data

GPIO_INTR
    Signals that GPIO interrupts are pending


=====================================================================

Name
    GPIO_ACK

Synopsis
    Acknowledges that a host set command (either “GPIO_OUTPUT_SET” or
    “GPIO_REGISTER_SET”) has been processed by the AR6000 device.

NOTE: Support for GPIO is optional.

Event ID
    N/A

Event Parameters
    None


Event Values
    None

=====================================================================


Name
    GPIO_DATA

Synopsis
    The AR6000 device uses this event to respond to the host’s earlier request for data
    (through either a “GPIO_REGISTER_GET” or a “GPIO_INPUT_GET” command).

NOTE: Support for GPIO is optional.

Event ID
    N/A

Event Parameters
    UINT32    value
        Holds the data of interest, which is either a register value
        (in the case of “GPIO_REGISTER_GET”) or a mask of
        pin inputs (in the case of “GPIO_INPUT_GET”).
    UINT32    reg_id
        Indicates which register was read (in the case of
        “GPIO_REGISTER_GET”) or is GPIO_ID_NONE (in the
        case of “GPIO_INPUT_GET”)

=====================================================================



Name
    GPIO_INTR

Synopsis
    The AR6000 device raises this event to signal that GPIO interrupts are pending.
    These GPIOs may be interrupts that occurred after the last “GPIO_INTR_ACK”
    command was issued, or may be GPIO interrupts that the host failed to acknowledge
    in the last “GPIO_INTR_ACK”. The AR6000 will not raise another GPIO_INTR
    event until this event is acknowledged through a “GPIO_INTR_ACK” command.

NOTE: Support for GPIO is optional.

Event ID
    N/A

Event Parameters
    UINT32    intr_mask
        Indicates which GPIO interrupts are currently pending

    UINT32    input_values
        A recent copy of the GPIO input values, taken at the
        time the most recent GPIO interrupt was processed

Event Values
    None
