On architectures with strict alignment requirements (e.g. arm), clang 14
warns about a packed struct which encloses a non-packed union:
In file included from sys/dev/bwi/bwimac.c:79:
sys/dev/bwi/if_bwivar.h:308:7: error: field iv_val within 'struct bwi_fw_iv' is less aligned than 'union (unnamed union at sys/dev/bwi/if_bwivar.h:305:2)' and is usually due to 'struct bwi_fw_iv' being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access]
} iv_val;
^
It appears to help if you also add __packed to the inner union (i.e.
iv_val). No change to the layout is intended.

In r178354 with the introduction of multi-bss ("vap") support factoring
out started and with r193340 ieee80211_media_change() no longer returned
ENETRESET but only 0 or error.
As ieee80211(9) tells the ieee80211_media_change() function should not
be called directly but is registered with ieee80211_vap_attach() instead.
Some drivers have not been fully converted. After fixing the return
checking some of these functions were simply wrappers between
ieee80211_vap_attach() and ieee80211_media_change(), so remove the extra
function, where possible as well.

- Alignment issues:
* Add missing __packed attributes + padding across all drivers; in
most places there was an assumption that padding will be always
minimally suitable; in few places - e.g., in urtw(4) / rtwn(4) -
padding was just missing.
* Add __aligned(8) attribute for all Rx radiotap headers since they can
contain 64-bit TSF timestamp; it cannot appear in Tx radiotap headers, so
just drop the attribute here. Refresh ieee80211_radiotap(9) man page
accordingly.
- Since net80211 automatically updates channel frequency / flags in
ieee80211_radiotap_chan_change() drop duplicate setup for these fields
in drivers.

Remove unused and easy to misuse PNP macro parameter
Inspired by r338025, just remove the element size parameter to the
MODULE_PNP_INFO macro entirely. The 'table' parameter is now required to
have correct pointer (or array) type. Since all invocations of the macro
already had this property and the emitted PNP data continues to include the
element size, there is no functional change.
Mostly done with the coccinelle 'spatch' tool:
$ cat modpnpsize0.cocci
@normaltables@
identifier b,c;
expression a,d,e;
declarer MODULE_PNP_INFO;
@@
MODULE_PNP_INFO(a,b,c,d,
-sizeof(d[0]),

MODULE_PNP_INFO(a,b,c,&d,
-sizeof(d),
1);
$ rg -l MODULE_PNP_INFO -- sys | \
xargs spatch --in-place --sp-file modpnpsize0.cocci
(Note that coccinelle invokes diff(1) via a PATH search and expects diff to
tolerate the -B flag, which BSD diff does not. So I had to link gdiff into
PATH as diff to use spatch.)

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,

Replace various void * / int argument combinations with common structures:
- ieee80211_ratectl_tx_status for *_tx_complete();
- ieee80211_ratectl_tx_stats for *_tx_update();
While here, improve amrr_tx_update() for a bit:
1. In case, if receiver is not known (typical for Ralink USB drivers),
refresh Tx rate for all nodes on the interface.
2. There was a misuse:
- otus(4) sends non-decreasing counters (as originally intended);
- but ural(4), rum(4) and run(4) are using 'read & clear' registers
to obtain statistics for some period of time (and those 'last period'
values are used as arguments for tx_update()). If arguments are not big
enough, they are just discarded after the next call.
Fix: move counting into *_tx_update()
(now otus(4) will zero out all node counters after every tx_update() call)
Tested with:
- Intel 3945BG (wpi(4)), STA mode.

connectivity interact with the net80211 stack.
Historical background: originally wireless devices created an interface,
just like Ethernet devices do. Name of an interface matched the name of
the driver that created. Later, wlan(4) layer was introduced, and the
wlanX interfaces become the actual interface, leaving original ones as
"a parent interface" of wlanX. Kernelwise, the KPI between net80211 layer
and a driver became a mix of methods that pass a pointer to struct ifnet
as identifier and methods that pass pointer to struct ieee80211com. From
user point of view, the parent interface just hangs on in the ifconfig
list, and user can't do anything useful with it.
Now, the struct ifnet goes away. The struct ieee80211com is the only
KPI between a device driver and net80211. Details:
- The struct ieee80211com is embedded into drivers softc.
- Packets are sent via new ic_transmit method, which is very much like
the previous if_transmit.
- Bringing parent up/down is done via new ic_parent method, which notifies
driver about any changes: number of wlan(4) interfaces, number of them
in promisc or allmulti state.
- Device specific ioctls (if any) are received on new ic_ioctl method.
- Packets/errors accounting are done by the stack. In certain cases, when
driver experiences errors and can not attribute them to any specific
interface, driver updates ic_oerrors or ic_ierrors counters.
Details on interface configuration with new world order:
- A sequence of commands needed to bring up wireless DOESN"T change.
- /etc/rc.conf parameters DON'T change.
- List of devices that can be used to create wlan(4) interfaces is
now provided by net.wlan.devices sysctl.

Since the high bit can indicate either IEEE80211_RATE_BASIC or
IEEE80211_RATE_MCS, it's up to the caller to determine whether
the rate is 11n or not, and either mask out the BASIC bit, or
call a different function.

a driver calls ieee80211_ratectl_init() check if the NONE algo is still
selected and try to use AMRR in that case. Drivers are still free to use
any other algo by calling ieee80211_ratectl_set() prior to the
ieee80211_ratectl_init() call.
After this change it is now safe to assume that a ratectl algo is always
available and selected, which renders the IEEE80211_C_RATECTL flag pretty
much useless. Therefore revert r211314 and 211546.
