ieee80211_com_lock_t ic_comlock; /* state update lock */
Bring over my initial work from the net80211 TX locking branch. This patchset implements a new TX lock, covering both the per-VAP (and thus per-node) TX locking and the serialisation through to the underlying physical device. This implements the hard requirement that frames to the underlying physical device are scheduled to the underlying device in the same order that they are processed at the VAP layer. This includes adding extra encapsulation state (such as sequence numbers and CCMP IV numbers.) Any order mismatch here will result in dropped packets at the receiver. There are multiple transmit contexts from the upper protocol layers as well as the "raw" interface via the management and BPF transmit paths. All of these need to be correctly serialised or bad behaviour will result under load. The specifics: * add a new TX IC lock - it will eventually just be used for serialisation to the underlying physical device but for now it's used for both the VAP encapsulation/serialisation and the physical device dispatch. This lock is specifically non-recursive. * Methodize the parent transmit, vap transmit and ic_raw_xmit function pointers; use lock assertions in the parent/vap transmit routines. * Add a lock assertion in ieee80211_encap() - the TX lock must be held here to guarantee sensible behaviour. * Refactor out the packet sending code from ieee80211_start() - now ieee80211_start() is just a loop over the ifnet queue and it dispatches each VAP packet send through ieee80211_start_pkt(). Yes, I will likely rename ieee80211_start_pkt() to something that better reflects its status as a VAP packet transmit path. More on that later. * Add locking around the management and BAR TX sending - to ensure that encapsulation and TX are done hand-in-hand. * Add locking in the mesh code - again, to ensure that encapsulation and mesh transmit are done hand-in-hand. * Add locking around the power save queue and ageq handling, when dispatching to the parent interface. * Add locking around the WDS handoff. * Add a note in the mesh dispatch code that the TX path needs to be re-thought-out - right now it's doing a direct parent device transmit rather than going via the vap layer. It may "work", but it's likely incorrect (as it bypasses any possible per-node power save and aggregation handling.) Why not a per-VAP or per-node lock? Because in order to ensure per-VAP ordering, we'd have to hold the VAP lock across parent->if_transmit(). There are a few problems with this: * There's some state being setup during each driver transmit - specifically, the encryption encap / CCMP IV setup. That should eventually be dragged back into the encapsulation phase but for now it lives in the driver TX path. This should be locked. * Two drivers (ath, iwn) re-use the node->ni_txseqs array in order to allocate sequence numbers when doing transmit aggregation. This should also be locked. * Drivers may have multiple frames queued already - so when one calls if_transmit(), it may end up dispatching multiple frames for different VAPs/nodes, each needing a different lock when handling that particular end destination. So to be "correct" locking-wise, we'd end up needing to grab a VAP or node lock inside the driver TX path when setting up crypto / AMPDU sequence numbers, and we may already _have_ a TX lock held - mostly for the same destination vap/node, but sometimes it'll be for others. That could lead to LORs and thus deadlocks. So for now, I'm sticking with an IC TX lock. It has the advantage of papering over the above and it also has the added advantage that I can assert that it's being held when doing a parent device transmit. I'll look at splitting the locks out a bit more later on. General outstanding net80211 TX path issues / TODO: * Look into separating out the VAP serialisation and the IC handoff. It's going to be tricky as parent->if_transmit() doesn't give me the opportunity to split queuing from driver dispatch. See above. * Work with monthadar to fix up the mesh transmit path so it doesn't go via the parent interface when retransmitting frames. * Push the encryption handling back into the driver, if it's at all architectually sane to do so. I know it's possible - it's what mac80211 in Linux does. * Make ieee80211_raw_xmit() queue a frame into VAP or parent queue rather than doing a short-cut direct into the driver. There are QoS issues here - you do want your management frames to be encapsulated and pushed onto the stack sooner than the (large, bursty) amount of data frames that are queued. But there has to be a saner way to do this. * Fragments are still broken - drivers need to be upgraded to an if_transmit() implementation and then fragmentation handling needs to be properly fixed. Tested: * STA - AR5416, AR9280, Intel 5300 abgn wifi * Hostap - AR5416, AR9160, AR9280 * Mesh - some testing by monthadar@, more to come.

ieee80211_tx_lock_t ic_txlock; /* ic/vap TX lock */
Replay r286410. Change KPI of how device drivers that provide wireless 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. Most drivers in this change were converted by me, except of wpi(4), that was done by Andriy Voskoboinyk. Big thanks to Kevin Lo for testing changes to at least 8 drivers. Thanks to pluknet@, Oliver Hartmann, Olivier Cochard, gjb@, mmoll@, op@ and lev@, who also participated in testing. Reviewed by: adrian Sponsored by: Netflix Sponsored by: Nginx, Inc.

Replay r286410. Change KPI of how device drivers that provide wireless 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. Most drivers in this change were converted by me, except of wpi(4), that was done by Andriy Voskoboinyk. Big thanks to Kevin Lo for testing changes to at least 8 drivers. Thanks to pluknet@, Oliver Hartmann, Olivier Cochard, gjb@, mmoll@, op@ and lev@, who also participated in testing. Reviewed by: adrian Sponsored by: Netflix Sponsored by: Nginx, Inc.

Update 802.11 wireless support: o major overhaul of the way channels are handled: channels are now fully enumerated and uniquely identify the operating characteristics; these changes are visible to user applications which require changes o make scanning support independent of the state machine to enable background scanning and roaming o move scanning support into loadable modules based on the operating mode to enable different policies and reduce the memory footprint on systems w/ constrained resources o add background scanning in station mode (no support for adhoc/ibss mode yet) o significantly speedup sta mode scanning with a variety of techniques o add roaming support when background scanning is supported; for now we use a simple algorithm to trigger a roam: we threshold the rssi and tx rate, if either drops too low we try to roam to a new ap o add tx fragmentation support o add first cut at 802.11n support: this code works with forthcoming drivers but is incomplete; it's included now to establish a baseline for other drivers to be developed and for user applications o adjust max_linkhdr et. al. to reflect 802.11 requirements; this eliminates prepending mbufs for traffic generated locally o add support for Atheros protocol extensions; mainly the fast frames encapsulation (note this can be used with any card that can tx+rx large frames correctly) o add sta support for ap's that beacon both WPA1+2 support o change all data types from bsd-style to posix-style o propagate noise floor data from drivers to net80211 and on to user apps o correct various issues in the sta mode state machine related to handling authentication and association failures o enable the addition of sta mode power save support for drivers that need net80211 support (not in this commit) o remove old WI compatibility ioctls (wicontrol is officially dead) o change the data structures returned for get sta info and get scan results so future additions will not break user apps o fixed tx rate is now maintained internally as an ieee rate and not an index into the rate set; this needs to be extended to deal with multi-mode operation o add extended channel specifications to radiotap to enable 11n sniffing Drivers: o ath: add support for bg scanning, tx fragmentation, fast frames, dynamic turbo (lightly tested), 11n (sniffing only and needs new hal) o awi: compile tested only o ndis: lightly tested o ipw: lightly tested o iwi: add support for bg scanning (well tested but may have some rough edges) o ral, ural, rum: add suppoort for bg scanning, calibrate rssi data o wi: lightly tested This work is based on contributions by Atheros, kmacy, sephe, thompsa, mlaier, kevlo, and others.

Replay r286410. Change KPI of how device drivers that provide wireless 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. Most drivers in this change were converted by me, except of wpi(4), that was done by Andriy Voskoboinyk. Big thanks to Kevin Lo for testing changes to at least 8 drivers. Thanks to pluknet@, Oliver Hartmann, Olivier Cochard, gjb@, mmoll@, op@ and lev@, who also participated in testing. Reviewed by: adrian Sponsored by: Netflix Sponsored by: Nginx, Inc.

Implementation of the upcoming Wireless Mesh standard, 802.11s, on the net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft standard. This standard is expected to become final next year. This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation, routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network. HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented. Authentication and encryption are not implemented. There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ... wlanmode mesh). A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98. Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl. More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported. Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to Sam Leffler for his support. Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

Replay r286410. Change KPI of how device drivers that provide wireless 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. Most drivers in this change were converted by me, except of wpi(4), that was done by Andriy Voskoboinyk. Big thanks to Kevin Lo for testing changes to at least 8 drivers.

This includes but isn't limited to things like scanning, sending probe requests and receiving probe responses. However, net80211 doesn't know about any of this - it still drives the whole scan/probe infrastructure itself. In order to move towards suppoting smart NICs, the receive path needs to know about the channel/details for each received packet. In at least the iwn and 7260 firmware (and I believe wpi, but I haven't tried it yet) it will do the scanning, power-save and off-channel buffering for you - all you need to do is handle receiving beacons and probe responses on channels that aren't what you're currently on. However the whole receive path is peppered with ic->ic_curchan and manual scan/powersave handling. The beacon parsing code also checks ic->ic_curchan to determine if the received beacon is on the correct channel or not.[1] So: * add freq/ieee values to ieee80211_rx_stats; * change ieee80211_parse_beacon() to accept the 'current' channel as an argument; * modify the iv_input() and iv_recv_mgmt() methods to include the rx_stats; * add a new method - ieee80211_lookup_channel_rxstats() - that looks up a channel based on the contents of ieee80211_rx_stats; * if it exists, use it in the mgmt path to switch the current channel (which still defaults to ic->ic_curchan) over to something determined by rx_stats. This is enough to kick-start scan offload support in the Intel 7260 driver that Rui/I are working on. It also is a good start for scan offload support for a handful of existing NICs (wpi, iwn, some USB parts) and it'll very likely dramatically improve stability/performance there. It's not the whole thing - notably, we don't need to do powersave, we should not scan all channels, and we should leave probe request sending to the firmware and not do it ourselves. But, this allows for continued development on the above features whilst actually having a somewhat working NIC. TODO: * Finish tidying up how the net80211 input path works. Right now ieee80211_input / ieee80211_input_all act as the top-level that everything feeds into; it should change so the MIMO input routines are those and the legacy routines are phased out. * The band selection should be done by the driver, not by the net80211 layer. * ieee80211_lookup_channel_rxstats() only determines 11b or 11g channels for now - this is enough for scanning, but not 100% true in all cases. If we ever need to handle off-channel scan support for things like static-40MHz or static-80MHz, or turbo-G, or half/quarter rates, then we should extend this. [1] This is a side effect of frequency-hopping and CCK modes - you can receive beacons when you think you're on a different channel. In particular, CCK (which is used by the low 11b rates, eg beacons!) is decodable from adjacent channels - just at a low SNR. FH is a side effect of having the hardware/firmware do the frequency hopping - it may pick up beacons transmitted from other FH networks that are in a different phase of hopping frequencies.

Implementation of the upcoming Wireless Mesh standard, 802.11s, on the net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft standard. This standard is expected to become final next year. This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation, routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network. HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented. Authentication and encryption are not implemented. There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ... wlanmode mesh). A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98. Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl. More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported. Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to Sam Leffler for his support. Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

Replay r286410. Change KPI of how device drivers that provide wireless 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. Most drivers in this change were converted by me, except of wpi(4), that was done by Andriy Voskoboinyk. Big thanks to Kevin Lo for testing changes to at least 8 drivers.

Replay r286410. Change KPI of how device drivers that provide wireless 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. Most drivers in this change were converted by me, except of wpi(4), that was done by Andriy Voskoboinyk. Big thanks to Kevin Lo for testing changes to at least 8 drivers.

Begin plumbing ieee80211_rx_stats through the receive path. Smart NICs with firmware (eg wpi, iwn, the new atheros parts, the intel 7260 series, etc) support doing a lot of things in firmware. This includes but isn't limited to things like scanning, sending probe requests and receiving probe responses. However, net80211 doesn't know about any of this - it still drives the whole scan/probe infrastructure itself. In order to move towards suppoting smart NICs, the receive path needs to know about the channel/details for each received packet. In at least the iwn and 7260 firmware (and I believe wpi, but I haven't tried it yet) it will do the scanning, power-save and off-channel buffering for you - all you need to do is handle receiving beacons and probe responses on channels that aren't what you're currently on. However the whole receive path is peppered with ic->ic_curchan and manual scan/powersave handling. The beacon parsing code also checks ic->ic_curchan to determine if the received beacon is on the correct channel or not.[1] So: * add freq/ieee values to ieee80211_rx_stats; * change ieee80211_parse_beacon() to accept the 'current' channel as an argument; * modify the iv_input() and iv_recv_mgmt() methods to include the rx_stats; * add a new method - ieee80211_lookup_channel_rxstats() - that looks up a channel based on the contents of ieee80211_rx_stats; * if it exists, use it in the mgmt path to switch the current channel (which still defaults to ic->ic_curchan) over to something determined by rx_stats. This is enough to kick-start scan offload support in the Intel 7260 driver that Rui/I are working on. It also is a good start for scan offload support for a handful of existing NICs (wpi, iwn, some USB parts) and it'll very likely dramatically improve stability/performance there. It's not the whole thing - notably, we don't need to do powersave, we should not scan all channels, and we should leave probe request sending to the firmware and not do it ourselves. But, this allows for continued development on the above features whilst actually having a somewhat working NIC. TODO: * Finish tidying up how the net80211 input path works. Right now ieee80211_input / ieee80211_input_all act as the top-level that everything feeds into; it should change so the MIMO input routines are those and the legacy routines are phased out. * The band selection should be done by the driver, not by the net80211 layer. * ieee80211_lookup_channel_rxstats() only determines 11b or 11g channels for now - this is enough for scanning, but not 100% true in all cases. If we ever need to handle off-channel scan support for things like static-40MHz or static-80MHz, or turbo-G, or half/quarter rates, then we should extend this. [1] This is a side effect of frequency-hopping and CCK modes - you can receive beacons when you think you're on a different channel. In particular, CCK (which is used by the low 11b rates, eg beacons!) is decodable from adjacent channels - just at a low SNR. FH is a side effect of having the hardware/firmware do the frequency hopping - it may pick up beacons transmitted from other FH networks that are in a different phase of hopping frequencies.

Implementation of the upcoming Wireless Mesh standard, 802.11s, on the net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft standard. This standard is expected to become final next year. This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation, routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network. HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented. Authentication and encryption are not implemented. There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ... wlanmode mesh). A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98. Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl. More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported. Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to Sam Leffler for his support. Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.
