IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

The "find node" function call will increase the node reference anyway;
so there's no reason to hold the node table lock during the MLME change.
The only reason I could think of is to stop overlapping mlme ioctls
from causing issues, but this should be fixed a different way.
This fixes a whole class of LORs that creep up when nodes are being
timed out or removed by hostapd.
Tested:
* AR5416, hostap, with nodes coming and going. No LORs or stability
issues were observed.
This supports both station and hostap modes:
* Station mode quiet time element support listens to quiet time
IE's and modifies the local quiet time configuration as appropriate;
* Hostap mode both obeys the locally configured quiet time period
and includes it in beacon frames so stations also can obey as needed.

* WPA-None requires ap_scan=2:
The major difference between ap_scan=1 (default) and 2 is, that no
IEEE80211_IOC_SCAN* ioctls/functions are called, though, there is a
dependency on those. For example the call to wpa_driver_bsd_scan()
sets the interface UP, this never happens, therefore the interface
must be marked up in wpa_driver_bsd_associate(). IEEE80211_IOC_SSID
also is not called, which means that the SSID has not been set prior
to the IEEE80211_MLME_ASSOC call.
* WPA-None has no support for sequence number updates, it doesn't make
sense to check for replay violations..
* I had some crashes right after the switch to RUN state, issue is
that sc->sc_lastrs was not yet defined.

net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft
standard. This standard is expected to become final next year.
This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c
which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation,
routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c
which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network.
HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but
others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented.
Authentication and encryption are not implemented.
There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be
used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you
how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create
wlandev ... wlanmode mesh).
A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled
by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98.
Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl.
More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh
Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that
bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported.
Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to
Sam Leffler for his support.
Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a
Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

- restrict to hostap vaps
- return EOPNOTSUPP instead of EINVAL when applied to !hostap vap
or to a vap w/o 11h enabled
- interpret count of 0 to mean cancel the current CSA

bridge do a better job.
o move ether_ifdetach to the top of ieee80211_detach
o do not clear if_softc at the top of ieee80211_detach; we no longer need
this because we are safeguarded against calls coming back through if_ioctl
o simplify the bpf tracker now that we don't null if_softc
This also fixes an issue where having a bpf consumer active when a vap
is destroyed would cause a crash because bpf referenced free'd memory.

sleepable context for net80211 driver callbacks. This removes the need for USB
and firmware based drivers to roll their own code to defer the chip programming
for state changes, scan requests, channel changes and mcast/promisc updates.
When a driver callback completes the hardware state is now guaranteed to have
been updated and is in sync with net80211 layer.
This nukes around 1300 lines of code from the wireless device drivers making
them more readable and less race prone.
The net80211 layer has been updated as follows
- all state/channel changes are serialised on the taskqueue.
- ieee80211_new_state() always queues and can now be called from any context
- scanning runs from a single taskq function and executes to completion. driver
callbacks are synchronous so the channel, phy mode and rx filters are
guaranteed to be set in hardware before probe request frames are
transmitted.

and xmit parameters. This makes it possible to use tdma on fractional

o add IEEE80211_MODE_HALF and IEEE80211_MODE_QUARTER; note these are
band-agnostic (may need revisiting)
o setup all default rates in ic_sup_rates instead of doing it only
for active modes; we need these to calculate the default tx parameters
which are not recalculated after a regulatory update (can't just
recalculate after installing a new channel list because we might
clobber user settings)
o remove special case code in ieee80211_get_suprates; this is now
a candidate for an inline or removal
o add various entries for new modes (roaming+tx params, wme, rate
mapping, scan set setup, country ie construction, tdma, basic rates)
Note these modes are intentionally not visible through if_media.

o change ioctl's that pass channel lists in/out to handle variable-size
arrays instead of a fixed (compile-time) value; we do this in a way
that maintains binary compatibility
o change ifconfig so all channel list data structures are now allocated
to hold MAXCHAN entries (1536); this, for example, allows the kernel
to return > IEEE80211_CHAN_MAX entries for calls like IEEE80211_IOC_DEVCAPS
the vap ioctl. This means that the parent interface should hopefully be up
before we return to userland, it does not depend on the parent init succeeding,
just that it was run.
This fixes wpa_supplicant with ndis and USB where the parent interfaces can be
slow to init.
o add net80211 support for a tdma vap that is built on top of the
existing adhoc-demo support
o add tdma scheduling of frame transmission to the ath driver; it's
conceivable other devices might be capable of this too in which case
they can make use of the 802.11 protocol additions etc.
o add minor bits to user tools that need to know: ifconfig to setup and
configure, new statistics in athstats, and new debug mask bits
While the architecture can support >2 slots in a TDMA BSS the current
design is intended (and tested) for only 2 slots.

bogus usage of this value in checking IEEE channel #'s.
NB: this causes an ABI change; ifconfig must be recompiled
address specified in the ioctl and for drivers that need the address
to locate a key (e.g. for delete).
Note this changes net80211-private api's but not the driver callback;
