NOTE: some multi-vap configurations (e.g., STA+IBSS) are not stable;
that will be fixed later.
Tested with:
- RTL8188CE, STA + AP mode;
- RTL8188CE, IBSS mode;
- RTL8188CUS, IBSS mode;
- RTL8188EU, IBSS mode.
Relnotes: yes
- Correctly refresh Rx filter when AP (IBSS) vap is created after STA vap.
- Block any RCR updates during TSF correction (IBSS mode).
- Set CBSSID* bits during vap creation, not when it was started / stopped.
- Cache current state to prevent unnecessary register reads.
Tested with RTL8188CE, STA + AP mode.
All devices:
- add support for rate adaptation via ieee80211_amrr(9);
- use short preamble for transmitted frames when needed;
- multi-bss support:
* for RTL8821AU: 2 VAPs at the same time;
* other: 1 any VAP + 1 sta VAP.
RTL8188CE:
- fix IQ calibration bug (reason of significant speed degradation);
- add h/w crypto acceleration support.
USB:
- A-MPDU Tx support;
- short GI support;
Other:
- add support for RTL8812AU / RTL8821AU chipsets
(a/b/g/n only; no ac yet);
- split merged code into subparts:
* bus glue (usb/*, pci/*, rtl*/usb/*, rtl*/pci/*)
* common (if_rtwn*)
* chip-specific (rtl*/*)
- various other bugfixes.
Due to code reorganization, module names / requirements were changed too:
urtwn urtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_usb rtwnfw
rtwn rtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_pci rtwnfw
Tested with RTL8188CE, RTL8188CUS, RTL8188EU and RTL8821AU.

Relnotes: yes
1) Unload mbuf instead of descriptor in rtwn_tx_done().
2) Add more synchronization for device visible mappings before
touching the memory.
3) Improve watchdog timer logic.

- Use macros to define rate indices; don't hardcode them in code.
- Add method for 'rate' -> 'rate index' conversion
(and array for the opposite).
- Determine if rate is CCK / OFDM via appropriate macro.

le*dec / le*enc functions.
Replace net80211 specific macros with system-wide bytestream
encoding/decoding functions:
- LE_READ_2 -> le16dec
- LE_READ_4 -> le32dec
- LE_WRITE_2 -> le16enc
- LE_WRITE_4 -> le32enc
+ drop ieee80211_input.h include, where it was included for these
operations only.

- Start vap(s) (via ieee80211_start_all()) only when initialization
succeeds; stop the first vap otherwise (via ieee80211_stop());
- Do not try to stop a device multiple times
(move (sc->sc_flags & RTWN_RUNNING) check to urtwn_stop_locked()).

This is a port from openbsd. It's incomplete and unstable, but it's better
than nothing. I have no plans to MFC this until it's complete and stable.
