o add driver callback to handle notification of beacon changes;
this is required for devices that manage beacon frames themselves
(devices must override the default handler which does nothing)
o move beacon update-related flags from ieee80211com to the beacon
offsets storage (or handle however a driver wants)
o expand beacon offsets structure with members needed for 11h/dfs
and appie's
o change calling convention for ieee80211_beacon_alloc and
ieee80211_beacon_update
o add overlapping bss support for 11g; requires driver to pass
beacon frames from overlapping bss up to net80211 which is not
presently done by any driver
o move HT beacon contents update to a routine in the HT code area

by a user application)

- provide dummy routines for ic_scan_curchan and ic_scan_mindwell, we do not support those operations.
- add ieee80211_scan_done() to tell the scanning module that all channels have been scanned.
- pass IEEE80211_S_SCAN state off to net80211 so it can initiate scanning
- fix overflow in the rates array
- scale the rate value passed back from the firmware scan to the units that net80211 uses.

operating channel and use this in the scan cache rather than directly using
ic_curchan. Some firmware cards can only do a full scan and so ic_curchan does
not have the correct value.
Also add IEEE80211_CHAN2IEEE to directly dereference ic_ieee from the channel
to be used in the fast path.

through wpa_supplcant. If a sta is deauth'd (e.g. due to inactivity)
with roaming mode set to manual then a subsequent MLME assoc request
will be incorrectly handled and the station will never reauthenticate.
To fix this interpret a reason code of zero as sufficient to send an
auth request frame.
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.

o leave IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_HDRLEN for portability to other systems but
correct comment about radiotap headers being padded to 64-bytes
(hasn't been true for many years)
o remove reference to IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_FCS; it was never used, instead
the flags are marked with IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_F_FCS to indicate whether
or not FCS is present
Might be better to just remove IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_HDRLEN so drivers
don't bogusly pad.

station exiting power save mode prepend them to the driver's
send q instead of appending them. This insures the packets
are not misordered wrt any packets already q'd for the station.
This corrects a problem noticed when using a VoIP phone talking
to an ath card in ap mode; the misordered packets caused noise.
