This is copied from network.c that uses a static table to lookup
exponential decay values by index (generated from 1/pow(n, 0.3)).
network.c uses this for network ranking but it can be useful for
BSS ranking as well if you need to apply some exponential backoff
to a value.
This has been needed elsewhere but generally shortcuts could be
taken mapping with ranges starting/ending with zero. This is a
more general linear mapping utility to map values between any
two ranges.
This will help to get rid of magic number use throughout the project.
The definitions should be limited to global magic numbers that are used
throughout the project, for example SSID length, MAC address length,
etc.
This is a new band defined in the WiFi 6E (ax) amendment. A completely
new value is needed due to channel reuse between 2.4/5 and 6GHz.
util.c needed minimal updating to prevent compile errors which will
be fixed later to actually handle this band. WSC also needed a case
added for 6GHz but the spec does not outline any RF Band value for
6GHz so the 5GHz value will be returned in this case.
- Mostly problems with whitespace:
- Use of spaces instead of tabs
- Stray spaces before closing ')
- Missing spaces
- Missing 'void' from function declarations & definitions that
take no arguments.
- Wrong indentation level
Replace uses of strcpy by the safer l_strlcpy. Note that both of these
functions can only be called with a buffer of max 253 bytes (the
identity string), so this is purely a precautionary measure.
mschaputil already had similar functionality, but ERP will need this
as well. These two functions will also handle identities with either
'@' or '\' to separate the user and domain.
Use a static buffer for converting an SSID to an approximate string in
UTF8. Replace each char that is not UTF8 compatible with the UTF8
replacement symbol.
