3cd0b4fd09 Return support needed by dstumbler:
o add back rx monitor support
o make WI_RID_SCAN_RES DTRT
o fix a bug handling zero-length RID requests (used by dstumbler to set
  a zero-length SSID)
o make RID_SCAN_REQ DTRT
o add back WI_RID_OWN_SSID
o fix wi_scan_ap to take a channel mask and txrate (for prism cards)

These changes fix dstumbler -o (monitor mode).  A minor change to dstumbler
is needed to get normal AP scanning mode to work right; this is preferred to
modifying the driver.

ae06c30e2b Add a comment that says it looks like lucent cards have a primary
firmware revision as well (not sure which firmware versions are needed
for this, but the 6.x and 8.x 'software' versions that I have seem to
support it).

Add dBm comm quality RID.  This is like the normal comm quality rid,
except the signal and noise numbers are normalized to dBm.  Some
revisions of the prism firmware, however, don't support this RID, and
some that do support it return 0 for quality and/or noise.  Your
milage may vary.

1bd2b5b4cd Integrate the hostap stuff that Thomas Skibo <skibo@packbell.net>
wrote.  This code was for 4.5-release, so I've ported it to -current
and made a few minor tweaks.  The biggest non-style tweak was to not
make access point the default.

More changes will be needed to get this actually working, but I wanted
to get a relatively pure baseline.  This doesn't seem to break what
works now.

276bdee1b5 o Reduce the gratuitous differences with NetBSD.
o OpenBSD's wiconfig tells me that a value of '2' is for sony wireless
  cards, 1 is for lucent (which we already knew) and '5' is for embedded
  lucent cards.
o Move some RID definitions to if_wavelan_ieee.h and use NetBSD names
  more often.

# more work is still needed in this area.

dbab04ca39 First cut at breaking out the bus attachment from the bus independent
part of the driver.  Also, move the softc and some other stuff to
if_wivar.h from if_wireg.h to make future merging activities easier.

048d9f99d1 o Rework the identify routine a little, merging it with NetBSD's wi.
o Add exerpimental support for identifying lucent cards.  All of mine
  come back with ID of 1, but NetBSD committed code for 5.  So accept
  both.
o rename wi_prism2_ver to wi_firmware_ver so that we could, if necessary,
  do special things for lucent cards too.
o Bring in a small part of the changes from airtools: The wi_cmd function
  now takes two additional arguments.  I didn't bring in their ioctls yet.
o eliminate the use of LE16TOH, and remove its define.
o Print the firmware as if there were 100 versions instead of 10.  This means
  that 6.1 and 6.10 aren't confusing to people.  We now print 6.01 in the
  former case.

419d8080a4 Currently, each wireless networking driver has it's own control program
despite the fact that most people want to set exactly the same settings
regardless of which card they have.  It has been repeatidly suggested
that this configuration should be done via ifconfig.  This patch
implements the required functionality in ifconfig and add support to the
wi and an drivers.  It also provides partial, untested support for the
awi driver.

6f76cb1e28 Add support for WEP (encryption) for silver and gold WaveLAN/IEEE turbo cards.
Also update wicontrol to enable/disable encryption, set WEP keys and set the
TX key index. Silver cards only have 40-bit keys. This is something of a quick
hack, but it works well enough for me to commit this from the LinuxWorld
exhibit floor.

The WEP support only shows up if you have a card that supports it.

664a31e496 Change #ifdef KERNEL to #ifdef _KERNEL in the public headers. "KERNEL"
is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot).  This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago.  More commits to come.

dda0e6f54e Update the WaveLAN/IEEE driver:
- Convert to new bus attachment scheme. Thanks to Blaz Zupan for doing
  the initial work here. One thing I changed was to have the attach
  and detach routines work like the PCI drivers, which means that in
  theory you should be able to load and unload the driver like the PCI
  NIC drivers, however the pccard support for this hasn't settled down
  yet so it doesn't quite work. Once the pccard work is done, I'll have
  to revisit this.

- Add device wi0 to PCCARD. If we're lucky, people should be able to
  install via their WaveLAN cards now.

- Add support for signal strength caching. The wicontrol utility has
  also been updated to allow zeroing and displaying the signal strength
  cache.

- Add a /sys/modules/wi directory and fix a Makefile to builf if_wi.ko.
  Currently this module is only built for the i386 platform, though once
  the pccard stuff is done it should be able to work on the alpha too.
  (Theoretically you should be able to plug one of the WaveLAN/IEEE ISA
  cards into an alpha with an ISA slot, but we'll see how that turns out.

- Update LINT to use only device wi0. There is no true ISA version of
  the WaveLAN/IEEE so we'll never use an ISA attachment.

- Update files.i386 so that if_wi is dependent on card.

31a08ab08e Add device driver support for the Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 PCMCIA
adapter (and some workalikes). Also add man pages and a wicontrol
utility to manipulate some of the card parameters.

This driver was written using information gleaned from the Lucent HCF Light
library, though it does not use any of the HCF Light code itself, mainly
because it's contaminated by the GPL (but also because it's pretty gross).
The HCF Light lacks certain featurs from the full (but proprietary) HCF
library, including 802.11 frame encapsulation support, however it has
just enough register information about the Hermes chip to allow someone
with enough spare time and energy to implement a proper driver. (I would
have prefered getting my hands on the Hermes manual, but that's proprietary
too. For those who are wondering, the Linux driver uses the proprietary
HCF library, but it's provided in object code form only.)

Note that I do not have access to a WavePOINT access point, so I have
only been able to test ad-hoc mode. The wicontrol utility can turn on
BSS mode, but I don't know for certain that the NIC will associate with
an access point correctly. Testers are encouraged to send their results
to me so that I can find out if I screwed up or not.
