header is now in two parts: bsdxml.h and bsdxml_external.h, representing
the expat.h and expat_external.h headers. Updated the info on the man
page as well. Also, fixed a type-error in a printf in
sbin/ifconfig/regdomain.c that would cause a compiler warning.

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.

it would return true on a partial match where it would think the edsc module
was already present by having a positive match on 'ed'. This changes it so
that it compares the full string including the nul terminators.
This also fixes a buffer overflow in the ifkind variable where the length of
the interface name in *argv wasnt checked for size.

communicate with another private port.
All unicast/broadcast/multicast layer2 traffic is blocked so it works much the
same way as using firewall rules but scales better and is generally easier as
firewall packages usually do not allow ARP blocking.
An example usage would be having a number of customers on separate vlans
bridged with a server network. All the vlans are marked private, they can all
communicate with the server network unhindered, but can not exchange any
traffic whatsoever with each other.

All non-tagged traffic is treated as vlan1 as per IEEE 802.1Q-2003

Remove IPX over IP tunneling support, which allows IPX routing over IP
tunnels, and was not MPSAFE. The code can be easily restored in the
event that someone with an IPX over IP tunnel configuration can work
with me to test patches.
This removes one of five remaining consumers of NET_NEEDS_GIANT.

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
The name trunk is misused as the networking term trunk means carrying multiple
VLANs over a single connection. The IEEE standard for link aggregation (802.3
section 3) does not talk about 'trunk' at all while it is used throughout IEEE
802.1Q in describing vlans.
The lagg(4) driver provides link aggregation, failover and fault tolerance.
Discussed on: current@
tolerance. This driver allows aggregation of multiple network interfaces as
one virtual interface using a number of different protocols/algorithms.
failover - Sends traffic through the secondary port if the master becomes
inactive.
fec - Supports Cisco Fast EtherChannel.
lacp - Supports the IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol
(LACP) and the Marker Protocol.
loadbalance - Static loadbalancing using an outgoing hash.
roundrobin - Distributes outgoing traffic using a round-robin scheduler
through all active ports.
This code was obtained from OpenBSD and this also includes 802.3ad LACP support
from agr(4) in NetBSD.

of devd(8) involuntarily reloading modules should be dealt with in a
different way.
new interface. In other cases loading the module is unwanted and
can lead to ill side effects. One such effect found is as follows:
"kldunload if_foo" tells the module to kill all its interfaces,
which results in messages sent to devd; the module unloads. Then
devd starts processing the messages, which ends up in a etc script
running ifconfig fooX, which reloads the module.
'-alias', and that 'add' and 'delete are in fact synonyms for these
in the ifconfig(8) grammar.
