o add ic_curchan and use it uniformly for specifying the current
channel instead of overloading ic->ic_bss->ni_chan (or in some
drivers ic_ibss_chan)
o add ieee80211_scanparams structure to encapsulate scanning-related
state captured for rx frames
o move rx beacon+probe response frame handling into separate routines
o change beacon+probe response handling to treat the scan table
more like a scan cache--look for an existing entry before adding
a new one; this combined with ic_curchan use corrects handling of
stations that were previously found at a different channel
o move adhoc neighbor discovery by beacon+probe response frames to
a new ieee80211_add_neighbor routine

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.

o separate configured beacon interval from listen interval; this
avoids potential use of one value for the other (e.g. setting
powersavesleep to 0 clobbers the beacon interval used in hostap
or ibss mode)
o bounds check the beacon interval received in probe response and
beacon frames and drop frames with bogus settings; not clear
if we should instead clamp the value as any alteration would
result in mismatched sta+ap configuration and probably be more
confusing (don't want to log to the console but perhaps ok with
rate limiting)
o while here up max beacon interval to reflect WiFi standard

when operating in ap mode. Previously we allocated a node from the
station table, sent the frame (using the node), then released the
reference that "held the frame in the table". But while the frame
was in flight the node might be reclaimed which could lead to
problems. The solution is to add an ieee80211_tmp_node routine
that crafts a node that does exist in a table and so isn't ever
reclaimed; it exists only so long as the associated frame is in flight.

Hold a lock on the table instead of futzing with reference counts which
was potentially dangerous except drivers were quiescent while we did this
so the table contents never changed. Disable the hack logic for removing
scan candidates with multiple association failures; it's never done the
right thing and will be fixed correctly with background scanning goes in.
o ic_inact_auth is a bad name, it's the inactivity threshold
for being associated but not authorized; use it that way
o reset ni_inact when switching inactivity thresholds to
minimize the race against the timer (don't want to lock
for this stuff)
o change the inactivity probe threshold from a one-shot to
cover a range: when below this threshold but not expired
send a probe each inactivity interval; should probably
guard against the interval being turned way down as this

o add ieee80211_find_txnode routine to lookup a node by mac address and

are dup'd from bss and the driver is told to treat the node as if a new
association has been created so driver-private state (e.g. rate control
handling) is setup
