rate set element id from an AP. This allows stations to associate with
AP's that violate the 802.11 spec by sending >8 rates. This corrects a
recent regression; older code did likewise.
override in their sub-class; this eliminates the hack of interpreting the
EINPROGRESS return value to mean "don't do any of the normal work"
o correct active scanning so the first channel is only scanned once and so
per-channel passive mode is properly honored
o expose 802.11 FSM state names so every driver doesn't keep a private copy
o eliminate node parameter to ieee80211_begin_scan; it was not being used
o code reorg (relative to old netbsd-derived code) for future growth
o drivers now specify available channels and rates and 802.11 layer handles
almost all ifmedia actions
o multi-mode support for 11a/b/g devices
o 11g protocol additions (incomplete)
o new element id additions (for other than 11g)
o node/station table redone for proper locking and to eliminate driver
incestuousness
o split device flags and capabilities to reduce confusion and provide room
for expansion
o incomplete power management infrastructure (need to revisit)
o incomplete hooks for software retry
o more...
