b5c9941514 Clarify/fix handling of the current channel:
o add ic_curchan and use it uniformly for specifying the current
  channel instead of overloading ic->ic_bss->ni_chan (or in some
  drivers ic_ibss_chan)
o add ieee80211_scanparams structure to encapsulate scanning-related
  state captured for rx frames
o move rx beacon+probe response frame handling into separate routines
o change beacon+probe response handling to treat the scan table
  more like a scan cache--look for an existing entry before adding
  a new one; this combined with ic_curchan use corrects handling of
  stations that were previously found at a different channel
o move adhoc neighbor discovery by beacon+probe response frames to
  a new ieee80211_add_neighbor routine

d365f9c760 Cleanup beacon/listen interval handling:
o separate configured beacon interval from listen interval; this
  avoids potential use of one value for the other (e.g. setting
  powersavesleep to 0 clobbers the beacon interval used in hostap
  or ibss mode)
o bounds check the beacon interval received in probe response and
  beacon frames and drop frames with bogus settings; not clear
  if we should instead clamp the value as any alteration would
  result in mismatched sta+ap configuration and probably be more
  confusing (don't want to log to the console but perhaps ok with
  rate limiting)
o while here up max beacon interval to reflect WiFi standard

750d6d0c60 fix adhoc/ibss operation for drivers that require host support (e.g. ath):
o remove IEEE80211_C_RCVMGT capability
o on transmit craft new nodes as needed using new ieee80211_find_txnode routine
o add ieee80211_find_txnode routine to lookup a node by mac address and
  if not present create one when operating in ibss/ahdemo mode; new nodes
  are dup'd from bss and the driver is told to treat the node as if a new
  association has been created so driver-private state (e.g. rate control
  handling) is setup

303ebc3c87 Try yet again to deal with timing out nodes. We cannot hold the
node lock while sending a management frame as this will potentially
result in a LOR with a driver lock.  This doesn't happen for the
Atheros driver but does for the wi driver.  Use a generation number
to help process each node once when scanning the node table and
drop the node lock if we need to timeout a node and send a frame.

d1e61976a0 Generalize the per-node RSSI data so drivers can do more interesting
things than record a single value.

o add a per-node method for returning the "current RSSI" for a node
o create a default method that returns ni_rssi which is the rssi for
  the last received frame
o use the per-node "get rssi" method to return data for the RID's
  submitted by wicontrol, et. al.

Loosely based on work by Tom Marshall <tommy@home.tig-grr.com> for MADWIFI.

0a915fad5d MFp4 changes to fix locking issues and correct reference
count handling of station entries in hostap mode:

Input path:

o driver is now expected to find the node associated with the
  sender of a received frame; use ic_bss if none is located
o driver passes the (referenced) node into ieee80211_input for
  use within the wlan module and is responsible for cleaning up
  on return
o the antenna state is no longer passed up with each frame; this
  is now considered driver-private state and drivers are responsible
  for keeping it in the driver-private part of a node

Output path:

Revamp output path for management frames to eliminate redundant
locking that causes problems and to correct reference counting
bogosity that occurs when stations are timed out due to inactivity
(in AP mode).  On output the refcnt'd node is stashed in the pkthdr's
recvif field (yech) and retrieved by the driver.  This eliminates
an unref/ref scenario and related node table unlock/lock due to the
driver looking up the node.  This is particularly important when
stations are timed out as this causes a lock order reversal that
can result in a deadlock.  As a byproduct we also reduce the overhead
for sending management frames (minimal).  Additional fallout from
this is a change to ieee80211_encap to return a refcn't node for
tieing to the outbound frame.  Node refcnts are not reclaimed until
after a frame is completely processed (e.g. in the tx interrupt
handler).  This is especially important for timed out stations as
this deref will be the final one causing the node entry to be
reclaimed.

Additional semi-related changes:
o replace m_copym use with m_copypacket (optimization)
o add assert to verify ic_bss is never free'd during normal operation
o add comments explaining calling conventions by drivers for frames
  going in each direction
o remove extraneous code that "cannot be executed" (e.g. because
  pointers may never be null)

a11c9a5cc2 o change ieee80211_new_state handling to use a proper method that drivers
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
