In certain setups (e.g., autonomous APs) it is extremly helpful to have
a way to map the BSSIDs to names for both normal status output as well
as the scan list. This often allows a quicker overview than remembering
(or manually looking up) BSSIDs.
Call ether_ntohost() on the bssid and consult /etc/ethers
and print "(name)" after the bssid for the status output and "(name)"
at the end of the line after the IE list.

802.1ad interfaces are created with ifconfig using the "vlanproto" parameter.
Eg., the following creates a 802.1Q VLAN (id #42) over a 802.1ad S-VLAN
(id #5) over a physical Ethernet interface (em0).
ifconfig vlan5 create vlandev em0 vlan 5 vlanproto 802.1ad up
ifconfig vlan42 create vlandev vlan5 vlan 42 inet 10.5.42.1/24
VLAN_MTU, VLAN_HWCSUM and VLAN_TSO capabilities should be properly
supported. VLAN_HWTAGGING is only partially supported, as there is
currently no IFCAP_VLAN_* denoting the possibility to set the VLAN
EtherType to anything else than 0x8100 (802.1ad uses 0x88A8).

Implement two macros IEEE80211_VHTCAP_SUPP_CHAN_WIDTH_IS_160MHZ()
and its 80+80 counter part to check in vhtcaps for appropriate
levels of support and use the macros throughout the code.
Add vht160_chan_ranges/is_vht160_valid_freq and handle analogue
to vht80 in various parts of the code.
Add ieee80211_add_channel_cbw() which also takes the CBW flag
fields and make the former ieee80211_add_channel() a wrapper to it.
With the CBW flags we can add HT/VHT channels passing them to
getflags() for the 2/5ghz functions.
In ifconfig(8) add the regdomain_addchans() support for VHT160
and VHT80P80.
With this (+ regdoain.xml updates) VHT160 channels can be
configured, listed, and pass regdomain where appropriate.

For flags and checks the order goes VHT160 and then VHT80P80 unless
checks are in reverse order ("more comes first") in which case we
deal with VHT80P80 first.
The one reverse order to pick out is where we check channel
prefernences. While it may seem that VHT160 is better, finding
two "free" channels (VHT 80+80) is more likely so we do prefer that.
While dealing with VHT160 and VHT80P80 add extra clauses previously
missing or marked TODO in a few places.

The standard uses 80+80 and 80p80 but nowhere 80_80.
Switch the latter to 80P80 for all the macros and comments refering
to #defined flags which I could find.
The only place we leave as 80p80 is the ifconfig command line arguments
as we spell them all in lower case.
Ideally we would use 80+80 for any interactions with the user and
80P80 for anything internal but let us not confuse parsers and
hence avoid the '+' in either case.

Rather then using magic numbers duplicate IEEE80211_FVHT_VHT* in
ifconfig (cleanup of these and other flags used and not exposed by
net80211 should happen later) and use those.
In the kernel this simplifies one ioctl path (the other one currently
relies on individual bit flags being passed in).
We also re-order the 80P80 and 160 flag for 160 to come before 80+80
and more clearly leave the flags as TODO in one of the 160/80+80 cases.

Currently ifconfig(8) only prints the hex representation of ssid names
with non-ASCII characters. Many modern terminals are able to properly render
non-ASCII characters. This change checks if the terminal charmap is UTF-8,
and if so, will render the characters, rather than the hex value.
This behavior is circumvented by running ifconfig(8) in a non-UTF8 locale;
e.g. C or POSIX.
It was pointed out by kp@ during the review that APs have the option to
broadcast whether their SSIDs may be interpreted as UTF-8. Ideally, we would
honor this and only attempt this behavior if it's so-broadcasted by the AP.
However, a sample survey showed that hostapd will advertise this if
indicated in config but it doesn't seem to be so common in the AP market, so
this would be effectively useless as we'll rarely know if the SSID should be
renderable as UTF-8.
Despite this, it was decided to be OK with this anyways- there's a
straightforward path to doing it the right way based on advertisement by AP
if we need to go that route, and one can revert to old behavior easily
enough at runtime if we get it wrong.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
Some APs broadcast WPS IE frames with totally broken data. Ifconfig's printwpsie()
loops through WPS frames printing the attributes out; if the frame's data is bad,
printwpsie() can end up looking at out-of-bounds addresses causing ifconfig to
bus error.
Thanks to Takashi Inoue at Nihon U for his efforts in debugging this.

* Migrate the rx_params stuff out from ieee80211_freebsd.h where it doesn't belong -
this isn't freebsd specific anymore.
* Don't use a hard-coded number of chains in the ioctl header; now we can shuffle
MAX_CHAINS around so it can be used in the right spot.
* Extend the signal/noisefloor levels in the mimo stats struct to userland to include
the signal and noisefloor levels for each 20MHz slice of a 160MHz channel.
* Bump the number of EVM pilots in preparation for 4x4 and 160MHz channels.

* ath(4), STA mode

* local ath10k port, STA mode
TODO:
* 11ax chips will come with 5GHz 8x8 hardware for lots of MU-MIMO - I'll re-bump it
at that point.
Note:
* This breaks the driver and ifconfig ABI; please recompile the kernel,
ifconfig and wpa_supplicant/hostapd.
This is very preliminary and mostly enough for me (with other patches)
to work on VHT support.
It adds:
* VHT20, VHT40 and VHT80 regulatory/band awareness
* VHT20, VHT40 and VHT80 channel configuration / population
* Parses vht channel specifications (eg ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev athp0 wlanmode monitor channel 36:vht/80)
* Configuration of VHT, VHT40, VHT80, VHT80+80, VHT160 channel
width (IEEE80211_FVHT_VHT* flags in net80211)
TODO:
* No VHT80+80 or VHT160 channels yet - I don't yet have hardware, and I'm
not yet sure how to support/populate VHT80+80 channels.
* No, I won't update the manpage until this is "more done", lest someone
tries using vht and gets upset with me.
* No, I won't commit the regulatory database I'm testing with, so you'll
just end up with no VHT channels ever populated. Which is good, as there
isn't an 11ac driver in-tree yet to try it with.
Change default regulatory domain from DEBUG (no limitations;
exposes all device channels) to FCC; as a result, newly created wireless
interface with default settings will have less chances to violate
country-specific regulations.
This change will not affect drivers with pre-initialized regdomain
structure (currentry ath(4) and mwl(4)); in that case, the default
channel list must correspond to the default regdomain / country setting.
You can switch to another regdomain / country via corresponding
ifconfig(8) options; the driver must implement ic_getradiocaps()
method to restore full channel list.
Full country / regdomain list may be obtained via
'ifconfig <iface> list countries' command.
Example: change country to Germany:
ifconfig wlan0 down # all wlans on the device must be down
ifconfig wlan0 country DE
ifconfig wlan0 up
# wpa_supplicant(8), dhclient(8) etc
At the creation time:
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 country DE
To make changes permanent add the following line to the rc.conf(5):
create_args_wlan0="country DE"
