For 11n / 11ac we are still using non-11n rates for management and
multicast traffic by default; check 'MCS rate' bit to determine how
to print them correctly.

Regardless if a verbose scan is required or not, we'd still want to display the
full SSID name by default so use the IEE80211_NWID_LEN constant to set the
value to use instead.

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.
Tested:
* ath(4), STA mode
* iwn(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"
Tested with
- Intel 3945BG (wpi(4)).

* remove regdomain.[ch] - it's now part of lib80211.
* convert ifieee80211.c to use the ioctl routines in lib80211 and
implement the "error? exit" wrapper behaviour the callers expect.
Right now net80211 is configured as type IBSS but then treats it
as mediatype ADHOC. This doesn't change that; it just correctly handles
being given a mediatype of IBSS.
This allows a hostap to specify to a set of stations that they
should not transmit for a certain period of time after each
beacon interval has expired. This is used when searching for
radar pulses or general interference.
