Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
These came from Linux mac80211 headers and are configuration bits, not
VHTOPMODE field parameters.
Whilst here, add the field names for the VHTCAP bits.

It turns out that madwifi actually has the basics for uAPSD implemented
but it was never ported to FreeBSD. I may eventually port most of the
pieces; I'll see how it goes!

This is a subset of what's in the linux 802.11ac implementation.
I've verified that the bits that mention an 802.11ac draft are
still the same in 802.11ac-2013 and noted it accordingly.
This is for the most part one big no-op.

frames to 0
From IEEE Std. 802.11-2012, 8.3.2.1 "Data frame format", p. 415 (513):
"The Sequence Control field for QoS (+)Null frames is ignored by the receiver
upon reception."
At this moment, any <mode>_input() function interprets them as regular QoS data
frames with TID = 0. As a result, stations, that use another TX sequence for
QoS Null frames (e.g. wpi(4), where (QoS) Null frames are generated by the
firmware), may experience significant packet loss with any other NIC in hostap
mode.
Tested:
* wpi(4) (author)
* iwn(4) - Intel 5100, STA mode (me)

The origin of WEP comes from IEEE Std 802.11-1997 where it defines
whether the frame body of MAC frame has been encrypted using WEP
algorithm or not.
IEEE Std. 802.11-2007 changes WEP to Protected Frame, indicates
whether the frame is protected by a cryptographic encapsulation
algorithm.

This supports both station and hostap modes:
* Station mode quiet time element support listens to quiet time
IE's and modifies the local quiet time configuration as appropriate;
* Hostap mode both obeys the locally configured quiet time period
and includes it in beacon frames so stations also can obey as needed.

clean up parts of the *_recv_mgmt() functions.
- make sure appropriate counters are bumped and debug messages are printed
- order the unhandled subtypes by value and add a few missing ones
- fix some whitespace nits
- remove duplicate code in adhoc_recv_mgmt()
- remove a useless comment, probably left in while c&p
net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft
standard. This standard is expected to become final next year.
This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c
which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation,
routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c
which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network.
HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but
others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented.
Authentication and encryption are not implemented.
There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be
used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you
how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create
wlandev ... wlanmode mesh).
A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled
by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98.
Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl.
More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh
Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that
bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported.
Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to
Sam Leffler for his support.
Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a
Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

o break out version-related code to simplify rev'ing the protocol
o add parameter validation macros so checks that appear multiple places
are consistent (and easy to change)
o add protocol version check when looking for a scan candidate
o improve scan debug output format
o rewrite beacon update handling to calculate a bitmask of changed values
and pass that down through the driver callback so drivers can optimize work
o do slot bounds check before use when parsing received beacons
o add net80211 support for a tdma vap that is built on top of the
existing adhoc-demo support
o add tdma scheduling of frame transmission to the ath driver; it's
conceivable other devices might be capable of this too in which case
they can make use of the 802.11 protocol additions etc.
o add minor bits to user tools that need to know: ifconfig to setup and
configure, new statistics in athstats, and new debug mask bits
While the architecture can support >2 slots in a TDMA BSS the current
design is intended (and tested) for only 2 slots.

Note this includes changes to all drivers and moves some device firmware
loading to use firmware(9) and a separate module (e.g. ral). Also there
no longer are separate wlan_scan* modules; this functionality is now
bundled into the wlan module.
