Adrian Chadd 24effd1107 Handle ath-specific and WME IE's in adhoc mode.
The Adhoc support wasn't parsing and handling the ath specific and WME
IEs, thus the atheros vendor support and WME TXOP parameters aren't being
copied from the peer.

It copies the WME parameters from whichever adhoc node it decides to
associate to, rather than just having them be statically configured
per adhoc node.  This may or may not be exactly "right", but it's certainly
going to be more convienent for people - they just have to ensure their
adhoc nodes are setup with correct WME parameters.

Since WME parameters aren't per-node but are configured on hardware TX
queues, if some nodes support WME and some don't - or perhaps, have
different WME parameters - things will get quite quirky.

So ensure that you configure your adhoc nodes with the same WME
parameters.

Secondly - the Atheros Vendor IE is parsed and operated on per-node, so
this should work out ok between nodes that do and don't do Atheros
extensions.  Once you see a becaon from that node and you setup the
association state, it _should_ parse things correctly.

TODO:

* I do need to ensure that both adhoc setup paths are correctly updating
  the IE stuff.  Ie, if the adhoc node is created by a data frame instead
  of a beacon frame, it'll come up with no WME/ath IE config.  The next
  beacon frame that it receives from that node will update the state.
  I just need to sit down and better understand how that's suppose to
  work in IBSS mode.

Tested:

* AR5416 <-> AR9280 - fast frames and the WME configuration both popped
  up. (This is with a local HAL patch that enables the fast frames
  capability on the AR5416 chipsets.)

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
