bf1f922275 Certain adapters have HT40 support on some but not all channels. The
Intel 4965 devices for example have HT40 on 2GHz completely disabled
but it is still supported for 5GHz. To handle that in sta mode we
need to check if we can "upgrade" to a HT40 channel after the
association, if that is not possible but we are still announcing
support to the remote side we are left with a very flabby connection.

597029bf18 Honor device capabilities while initializing ni_htrates.
Instead of hardcoding MCS0-15 generate the table dynamically, also
restrict the MCS rates to our own capabilities while parsing a htcap
element.

d8e14b5eac Fill hc_mcsset completely.
Contrary to the rateset information in legacy frames the MCS Set
field also contains TX capability information in cases where the
number of available TX and RX spartial streams differ. Because a
rateset doesn't contain that information we have to pull the
those directly from the hardware capabilities.

bffb67e30f Change the way HT capatibilities are announced.
Get rid of the assumption that every device is capable of 40MHz,
SGI and 2 spartial streams. Instead of printing, in the worst case,
8 times 76 MCS rates, print logically connect ranges and the
support RX/TX streams.

A device without 40MHz and SGI support looks like:
ath0: 2T2R
ath0: 11na MCS 20Mhz
ath0: MCS 0-7: 6.5Mbps - 65Mbps
ath0: MCS 8-15: 13Mbps - 130Mbps
ath0: 11ng MCS 20Mhz
ath0: MCS 0-7: 6.5Mbps - 65Mbps
ath0: MCS 8-15: 13Mbps - 130Mbps

f136f45f39 Complete the MCS rate table based on the final 802.11n std. While here
adjust the IEEE80211_HTRATE_MAXSIZE constant, only MCS0 - 76 are valid
the other bits in the mcsset IE (77 - 127) are either reserved or used
for TX parameters.

  use ieee80211_radiotap_attach to setup shared data structures that
  hold the radiotap header for each packet tx/rx
o remove rx timestamp from the rx path; it was used only by the tdma support
  for debugging and was mostly useless due to it being 32-bits and mostly
  unavailable
o track DLT_IEEE80211_RADIO bpf attachments and maintain per-vap and

o track the number of monitor mode vaps
o use bpf tap and monitor mode vap state to decide when to collect radiotap
  state and dispatch frames; drivers no longer explicitly directly check
  bpf state or use bpf calls to tap frames
o handle radiotap state updates on channel change in net80211; drivers
  should not do this (unless they bypass net80211 which is almost always
  a mistake)

fdabd982e7 Revamp ht ie handling:
o change ieee80211_parse_htcap and ieee80211_parse_htinfo to save only
  internal state obtained from the ie's; no dynamic state such as
  ni_chw is altered
o add ieee80211_ht_updateparams to parse ht cap+info ie's and update
  dynamic node state
o change ieee80211_ht_node_init to not take an htcap ie that is parsed;
  instead have the caller make a separate call as one caller wants to
  parse the ie while another wants to parse both cap+info ie's and
  update state so can better do this with ieee80211_ht_updateparams

These changes fix sta mode state handling where the node's channel
width was shifted to ht20/ht40 prematurely.

45f856e3ac Cleanup AMPDU handling:
For receive:
o explicitly tag rx frames w/ M_AMPDU instead of passing frames through
  the reorder processing according to the node having HT and the frame
  being QoS data
o relax ieee80211_ampdu_reorder asserts to allow any frame to be passed
  in, unsuitable frames are returned to the caller for normal processing;
  this permits drivers that cannot inspect the PLCP to mark all data
  frames as potential ampdu candidates with only a small penalty
o add M_AMPDU_MPDU to identify frames resubmitted from the reorder q

For transmit:
o tag aggregation candidates with M_AMPDU_MPDU
o fix the QoS ack policy set in ampdu subframes; we only support immediate
  BA streams which should be marked for "normal ack" to get implicit block
  ack behaviour; interestingly certain vendor parts BA'd frames with the
  11e BA ack policy set
o do not assign a sequence # to aggregation candidates; this must be done
  when frames are submitted for transmit (NB: this can/will be handled
  better when aggregation is pulled up to net80211)

68e8e04e93 Update 802.11 wireless support:
o major overhaul of the way channels are handled: channels are now
  fully enumerated and uniquely identify the operating characteristics;
  these changes are visible to user applications which require changes
o make scanning support independent of the state machine to enable
  background scanning and roaming
o move scanning support into loadable modules based on the operating
  mode to enable different policies and reduce the memory footprint
  on systems w/ constrained resources
o add background scanning in station mode (no support for adhoc/ibss
  mode yet)
o significantly speedup sta mode scanning with a variety of techniques
o add roaming support when background scanning is supported; for now
  we use a simple algorithm to trigger a roam: we threshold the rssi
  and tx rate, if either drops too low we try to roam to a new ap
o add tx fragmentation support
o add first cut at 802.11n support: this code works with forthcoming
  drivers but is incomplete; it's included now to establish a baseline
  for other drivers to be developed and for user applications
o adjust max_linkhdr et. al. to reflect 802.11 requirements; this eliminates
  prepending mbufs for traffic generated locally
o add support for Atheros protocol extensions; mainly the fast frames
  encapsulation (note this can be used with any card that can tx+rx
  large frames correctly)
o add sta support for ap's that beacon both WPA1+2 support
o change all data types from bsd-style to posix-style
o propagate noise floor data from drivers to net80211 and on to user apps
o correct various issues in the sta mode state machine related to handling
  authentication and association failures
o enable the addition of sta mode power save support for drivers that need
  net80211 support (not in this commit)
o remove old WI compatibility ioctls (wicontrol is officially dead)
o change the data structures returned for get sta info and get scan
  results so future additions will not break user apps
o fixed tx rate is now maintained internally as an ieee rate and not an
  index into the rate set; this needs to be extended to deal with
  multi-mode operation
o add extended channel specifications to radiotap to enable 11n sniffing

Drivers:
o ath: add support for bg scanning, tx fragmentation, fast frames,
       dynamic turbo (lightly tested), 11n (sniffing only and needs
       new hal)
o awi: compile tested only
o ndis: lightly tested
o ipw: lightly tested
o iwi: add support for bg scanning (well tested but may have some
       rough edges)
o ral, ural, rum: add suppoort for bg scanning, calibrate rssi data
o wi: lightly tested

This work is based on contributions by Atheros, kmacy, sephe, thompsa,
mlaier, kevlo, and others.  Much of the scanning work was supported by
Atheros.  The 11n work was supported by Marvell.
