e.g iwicontrol. Get rid of the old ioctl crud.
Updated iwi-firmware port coming soon.

in an IBSS. Store ids directly into ieee80211_node's instead of managing
our own private association table. Idea and code by Sam Leffler.

o Allow association with APs that do not broadcast SSID (with hints from
Nick Hudson and Hajimu Umemoto).
o IFQ_DRV_PREPEND mbuf when h/w ring is full so it can be sent later.
o Increment if_oerrors when appropriate.
o Did some cleanup while I'm here.

o management of multiple tx rings (up to 4)
o setting of WME IE in association requests
Some features are still missing though, like the possibility to override
the default cwmin/cwmax/asfn values of each tx queues.
struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

and on resume (reported to fix issues with ACPI)
o Add monitor mode support
o Add WPA (802.11i) support (not tested extensively though!)
o Add a device specific sysctl to control the tx antenna (default to
antenna diversity)
o Fix sensitivity setting
o Fix setting of the capinfo field when associating
o Temporarly disable 802.11a channels scanning that was causing firmware
panics with 2915ABG adapters until I find a better fix. This breaks
802.11a support.
o Temporarly switch back to software WEP until I implement hardware
encryption for AES and TKIP too.
