the TX queue is empty, there won't be a TX done notification, effectly
resulting in an mbuf leak. The correct way to handle this is to free
up mbufs on both BA and TX done notifications up to the last sent seqno.

appropriate state handling takes place, not doing so results in the
device doing nothing until manual intervention.

is a tap. Now, if there have been lots of frames queued the firmware
processes and returns those after the tap is gone.

passed over to the runtime firmware on 6050 devices. Instead let
the runtime firmware do the calibration itself. This fixes support
for the 6050 series devices.

probe requests at 1Mbps while being associated on a 5GHz channel. Sending
those at 6Mbps does work, so use that instead during a background scan.
This workaround allows us to re-enable background scan support for the
4965 adapters.
Also, just enabling one antenna on 5GHz results in better reception of
beacons:

vs
test 00:26:5a:c6:14:1a 40 54M -92:-95 200 E WME HTCAP ATH
Due to roam:rssi thresholds set to 7 by default it might have been
impossible to associate to that network. While here use
IEEE80211_IS_CHAN_5GHZ() to determine the band.
The version is used to check if a module is already preset, not setting
it results in:
can't re-use a leaf (ipw)!
module_register: module pci/ipw already exists!
Module pci/ipw failed to register: 17
while trying to load the module due to an entry in loader.conf. With this
commit we get the expected:
module ipw already present!

The other queues, especially the command queue, uses the FIFO mode
which doesn't require the byte count table because queued entries are
processed in order.

- instead of calling iwn_plcp_signal() for every frame, map the expected
value directly within wn->ridx
- concat plcp, rflags and xrflags, there is no clean byte boundary within
the flags, for example the antenna setting uses bit 6, 7 and 8
- there is still need for a custom rate to plcp mapping, as those expected
by the hardware are not conform to the std
On legacy channels every once in a while the firmware throws a SYSASSERT
on line 208. On HT channels though this does always happen and I'm not
aware of any workaround currently.
- If a ENH_SENS TLV section exit the firmware is capable of doing
enhanced sensitivity calibration.
- Newer devices/firmwares have more calibration commands therefore
hardcoding the noise gain/reset commands no longer works. It is
supposed to use the next index after the newest calibration type
support. Read the command index of the TLV section if available.
- 6000 series devices need enhanced sensitivity calibration.
- 6000 series devices need a different setting for the shadow reg.
- set the IWN_FLAG_HAS_11N bit if the EEPROM says the device has 11n
support.
