68e8e04e93 Update 802.11 wireless support:
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.

c1225b52f6 Split crypto tx+rx key indices and add a key index -> node mapping table:
Crypto changes:
o change driver/net80211 key_alloc api to return tx+rx key indices; a
  driver can leave the rx key index set to IEEE80211_KEYIX_NONE or set
  it to be the same as the tx key index (the former disables use of
  the key index in building the keyix->node mapping table and is the
  default setup for naive drivers by null_key_alloc)
o add cs_max_keyid to crypto state to specify the max h/w key index a
  driver will return; this is used to allocate the key index mapping
  table and to bounds check table loookups
o while here introduce ieee80211_keyix (finally) for the type of a h/w
  key index
o change crypto notifiers for rx failures to pass the rx key index up
  as appropriate (michael failure, replay, etc.)

Node table changes:
o optionally allocate a h/w key index to node mapping table for the
  station table using the max key index setting supplied by drivers
  (note the scan table does not get a map)
o defer node table allocation to lateattach so the driver has a chance
  to set the max key id to size the key index map
o while here also defer the aid bitmap allocation
o add new ieee80211_find_rxnode_withkey api to find a sta/node entry
  on frame receive with an optional h/w key index to use in checking
  mapping table; also updates the map if it does a hash lookup and the
  found node has a rx key index set in the unicast key; note this work
  is separated from the old ieee80211_find_rxnode call so drivers do
  not need to be aware of the new mechanism
o move some node table manipulation under the node table lock to close
  a race on node delete
o add ieee80211_node_delucastkey to do the dirty work of deleting
  unicast key state for a node (deletes any key and handles key map
  references)

Ath driver:
o nuke private sc_keyixmap mechansim in favor of net80211 support
o update key alloc api

These changes close several race conditions for the ath driver operating
in ap mode.  Other drivers should see no change.  Station mode operation
for ath no longer uses the key index map but performance tests show no
noticeable change and this will be fixed when the scan table is eliminated
with the new scanning support.

5c8a7b1b05 Change default key allocation method to do the right thing for
legacy parts (i.e. those that have 4 global key slots).  We
blindly assign unicast keys to key slot 0.  Devices that need
alternate allocation logic must override this method.

2cc12aded0 o fix wpa w/ wme: don't strip the QoS header on recv as tkip requires
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

dd70e17b12 Revise crypto api lightly to improve group key handling:
o don't pre-assign key index to the global key table entries so device
  has a chance to decide what to use
o make ieee80211_crypto_newkey take the desired flags as an argument
  instead of wacking the key structure directly; this eliminates a
  bunch of code warts
o add a new flag IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP to indicate a key is a WPA Group
  key so devices don't need to guess (temporarily add this flag in the
  ioctl code until we can get wpa_supplicant+hostapd updated)
o shuffle IEEE80211_KEY_* bits to move flags used internally to the high
  nibble of the flags word

1a1e1d2157 new 802.11 layer:
o code reorg (relative to old netbsd-derived code) for future growth
o drivers now specify available channels and rates and 802.11 layer handles
  almost all ifmedia actions
o multi-mode support for 11a/b/g devices
o 11g protocol additions (incomplete)
o new element id additions (for other than 11g)
o node/station table redone for proper locking and to eliminate driver
  incestuousness
o split device flags and capabilities to reduce confusion and provide room
  for expansion
o incomplete power management infrastructure (need to revisit)
o incomplete hooks for software retry
o more...
