Update for revised 802.11 support:

Browse Source 
o revised channel handling support; ifconfig now queries the kernel to
  find the list of available channels and handles channel promotion;
  channel attributes can be specified as part of the channel; e.g. 36:a
  for channel 36 in 11a (as opposed to turbo A or HT A)
o use channel list to map between freq and IEEE channel #; this eliminates
  all knowledge of how the mapping is done and fixes handling of cases
  where channels overlap in the IEEE channel # space but are distinct in
  the frequency+attributes space (e.g. PSB)
o add new knobs: bgscan, ff (Atheors fast frames), dturbo (Atheros
  Dynamic Turbo mode), bgscanidle, bgscanintvl, scanvalid, roam:rssi11a,
  roam:rssi11b, roam:rssi11g, roam:rate11a, roam:rate11b, roam:rate11g
  (roaming parameters), burst, doth (forthcoming 11h support)
o print contents of WME, ATH, WPA, RSN, information elements with -v option
o print signal strength in dBm
o print noise floor in dBm
o add list txpow to print tx power caps/channel
o change default channel display in status to be more informative

.Pp
When there are several ways to use a channel the channel
number/frequency may be appended with attributes to clarify.
For example, if a device is capable of operating on channel 6
with 802.11n and 802.11g then one can specify that g-only use
should be used by specifying ``6:g''.
Similarly the channel width can be specified by appending it
with ``/''; e.g. ``6/40'' specifies a 40MHz wide channel,
These attributes can be combined as in: ``6:ht/40''.
The full set of flags specified following a `:'' are:
.Cm a
(802.11a),
.Cm b
(802.11b),
.Cm d
(Atheros Dynamic Turbo mode),
.Cm g
(802.11g),
.Cm h
or
.Cm n
(802.11n aka HT),
.Cm s
(Atheros Static Turbo mode),
and
.Cm t
(Atheros Dynamic Turbo mode, or appendeded to ``st'' and ``dt'').
The full set of channel widths following a '/' are:
.Cm 5
(5MHz aka quarter-rate channel),
.Cm 10
(10MHz aka half-rate channel),
.Cm 20
(20MHz mostly for use in specifying ht20),
and
.Cm 40
(40MHz mostly for use in specifying ht40),
In addition,
a 40MHz HT channel specification may include the location
of the extension channel by appending ``+'' or ``-'' for above and below,
respectively; e.g. ``2437:ht/40+'' specifies 40MHz wide HT operation
with the center channel at frequency 2437 and the extension channel above.
.It Cm deftxkey Ar index
Set the default key to use for transmission.
Typically this is only set when using WEP encryption.
