571d92b012 Fix firmware module dependencies.
malo and mwl use the firmware framework to access firmware images.
Depending on the firmware modules itself is not required and in this
case even wrong because no modules with those names exist.

e50d35e6c6 Add new tunable 'net.link.ifqmaxlen' to set default send interface
queue length. The default value for this parameter is 50, which is
quite low for many of today's uses and the only way to modify this
parameter right now is to edit if_var.h file. Also add read-only
sysctl with the same name, so that it's possible to retrieve the
current value.

7cf545d0a1 - Add a private timer to drive the transmit watchdog instead of using
if_watchdog and if_timer.
- Fix some issues in detach for sn(4), ste(4), and ti(4).  Primarily this
  means calling ether_ifdetach() before anything else.

bcda02c3e4 Don't use BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW as that causes the attachment to fail on
Cambria boards.

e26b433feb must also plumb static wep keys to the local sta db in sta mode; not
sure when this became necessary and might be caused by some missing
code to do auto-configuration of DWDS usage

59aa14a91d Implementation of the upcoming Wireless Mesh standard, 802.11s, on the
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.

7634012302 Revamp 802.11 action frame handling:
o add a new facility for components to register send+recv handlers
o ieee80211_send_action and ieee80211_recv_action now use the registered
  handlers to dispatch operations
o rev ieee80211_send_action api to enable passing arbitrary data
o rev ieee80211_recv_action api to pass the 802.11 frame header as it may
  be difficult to locate
o update existing IEEE80211_ACTION_CAT_BA and IEEE80211_ACTION_CAT_HT handling
o update mwl for api rev
