b032f27c36 Multi-bss (aka vap) support for 802.11 devices.
Note this includes changes to all drivers and moves some device firmware
loading to use firmware(9) and a separate module (e.g. ral).  Also there
no longer are separate wlan_scan* modules; this functionality is now
bundled into the wlan module.

interface has been deprecated since 5.1, wi(4) wireless interfaces are managed
via the net80211 stack and ifconfig.

ab7350b7de After a mini-discussion with Sam Leffler, remove the hardcoded
list of Atheros-based cards from ath(4).  The online list is
always more up to date, anyway.

e32931227c Remove the Netgear WG311 from the list. The v1 card is supported, but
the v2 card is a TI.  Since we're not attempting to keep this list
complete, removing this is best.

Add revision suffix 'B' to D-Link DWL-G520/G650 entries, in order
to indicate that revision A1 cards are not supported by this driver
