* WPA-None requires ap_scan=2:
The major difference between ap_scan=1 (default) and 2 is, that no
IEEE80211_IOC_SCAN* ioctls/functions are called, though, there is a
dependency on those. For example the call to wpa_driver_bsd_scan()
sets the interface UP, this never happens, therefore the interface
must be marked up in wpa_driver_bsd_associate(). IEEE80211_IOC_SSID
also is not called, which means that the SSID has not been set prior
to the IEEE80211_MLME_ASSOC call.
* WPA-None has no support for sequence number updates, it doesn't make
sense to check for replay violations..
* I had some crashes right after the switch to RUN state, issue is
that sc->sc_lastrs was not yet defined.

o don't increment extracted tid, this was a vestige of IEEE80211_NONQOS_TID
being defined as 0 (w/ real tid's +1)
o handle 4-address frames (add IEEE80211_IS_DSTODS to check if an 802.11
header is DSTODS)

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.

o major overhaul of the way channels are handled: channels are now
fully enumerated and uniquely identify the operating characteristics;
these changes are visible to user applications which require changes
o make scanning support independent of the state machine to enable
background scanning and roaming
o move scanning support into loadable modules based on the operating
mode to enable different policies and reduce the memory footprint
on systems w/ constrained resources
o add background scanning in station mode (no support for adhoc/ibss
mode yet)
o significantly speedup sta mode scanning with a variety of techniques
o add roaming support when background scanning is supported; for now
we use a simple algorithm to trigger a roam: we threshold the rssi
and tx rate, if either drops too low we try to roam to a new ap
o add tx fragmentation support
o add first cut at 802.11n support: this code works with forthcoming
drivers but is incomplete; it's included now to establish a baseline
for other drivers to be developed and for user applications
o adjust max_linkhdr et. al. to reflect 802.11 requirements; this eliminates
prepending mbufs for traffic generated locally
o add support for Atheros protocol extensions; mainly the fast frames
encapsulation (note this can be used with any card that can tx+rx
large frames correctly)
o add sta support for ap's that beacon both WPA1+2 support
o change all data types from bsd-style to posix-style
o propagate noise floor data from drivers to net80211 and on to user apps
o correct various issues in the sta mode state machine related to handling
authentication and association failures
o enable the addition of sta mode power save support for drivers that need
net80211 support (not in this commit)
o remove old WI compatibility ioctls (wicontrol is officially dead)
o change the data structures returned for get sta info and get scan
results so future additions will not break user apps
o fixed tx rate is now maintained internally as an ieee rate and not an
index into the rate set; this needs to be extended to deal with
multi-mode operation
o add extended channel specifications to radiotap to enable 11n sniffing
Drivers:
o ath: add support for bg scanning, tx fragmentation, fast frames,
dynamic turbo (lightly tested), 11n (sniffing only and needs
new hal)
o awi: compile tested only
o ndis: lightly tested
o ipw: lightly tested
o iwi: add support for bg scanning (well tested but may have some
rough edges)
o ral, ural, rum: add suppoort for bg scanning, calibrate rssi data
o wi: lightly tested
This work is based on contributions by Atheros, kmacy, sephe, thompsa,
mlaier, kevlo, and others. Much of the scanning work was supported by
Atheros. The 11n work was supported by Marvell.
we bailed if we couldn't collect the 16-bytes of data required
for an aes block cipher in 2 mbufs; now we deal with it. While
here make space accounting signed so a sanity check does the
right thing for malformed mbuf chains.

it; instead pass the space occupied by the header down into the
crypto modules (except in the demic case which needs it only when
doing int in s/w)
o while here fix defrag to strip the header from 2nd and later frames
o teach decap code how to handle 4-address frames
here but it includes completed 802.11g, WPA, 802.11i, 802.1x, WME/WMM,
AP-side power-save, crypto plugin framework, authenticator plugin framework,
and access control plugin frameowrk.
