o catch one place where we were not using ath_chan_change to
switch channels; this fixes a problem where the channel
settings were not being correctly reported in captured packets
o return unique channel identification in the channel flags;
ethereal gets confused if you return merged flags (e.g. ofdm,
cck, and 2Ghz) (this is workaround and should be removed if
we can ever cleanup radiotap consumers)
o correct short/long preamble flag state for rx and treat tx
the same--use a new hwflags array that gives us the data
based on the h/w rate index/cookie
o add gross hack to handle radiotap capture of frames that
come in with hardware padding; should be replaced by a
flag in the radiotap header and more smarts in the apps
that decode radiotap data
o lintval is in ms; must convert to TU's for passing to the hal
o roundup to calculate nexttbtt (should look at current tsf and pull the
calculated nextbtt forward but this'll do for now)
o don't or- in HAL_BEACON_RESET_TSF when doing station timer setup; this
is not needed and messes up the sleep timer calcs, though it's unclear
if it mattered as the hal masks these values before use

of a sizeof, need to use %z to get the correct type on all our platforms.
Also, convert integers<->pointers via uintptr_t.
(I think Sam's instructions were for me to commit this. If I
misunderstood, then I apologize in advance.)
o move tx taps from ath_start to ath_tx_start so lots more
state is available to tap
o add tx flags
o add tx rate
o add tx power (constant for the moment)
o add tx antenna state
a new bpf_mtap2 routine that does the right thing for an mbuf
and a variable-length chunk of data that should be prepended.
o while we're sweeping the drivers, use u_int32_t uniformly when
when prepending the address family (several places were assuming
sizeof(int) was 4)
o return M_ASSERTVALID to BPF_MTAP* now that all stack-allocated
mbufs have been eliminated; this may better be moved to the bpf
routines

o fix race condition when processing rx descriptors: because we use
a self-linked descriptor at the end of the rx descriptor list to
avoid rx overruns (which can easily happen for 5212 parts that enable
PHY errors) we must carefully check that a descriptor is "done" by
looking ahead to the next descriptor before believing the done bit
in the current descriptor (this is all handled in the HAL since the
rx descriptor format is chip-specific so we need to pass in two
additional parameters--the physical address of the current descriptor
and the virtual address of the next descriptor in the list)
o check copyout return status for SIOCGATHSTATS ioctl

5212-based devices because PHY errors are used to collect data
on environmental noise that and doesn't truly reflect the state
of the communications media. The result is confused users.
Folks that want to watch PHY errors can still get the statistics
through the device ioctl (used by athstats).
if_xname, if_dname, and if_dunit. if_xname is the name of the interface
and if_dname/unit are the driver name and instance.
This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo
device creation and configuration symantics.

doing WEP on the host.
o don't grab the mutex at the top of ath_detach; it does nothing
useful
o deal with entry to ath_ioctl during detach to disable promiscuous
mode as a result of calling bpfdetach2: cannot call ath_init when
the device is marked invalid as the code isn't prepared to deal
with it (in particular by that time the hal reference may have
been yanked)
change ath_rate_ctl_reset to handle transition from station

calculate smoothed signal quality data for each node.
o add a 16-deep history buffer to each driver-private node storage that
holds rssi and antenna info for received frames
o override the default per-node "get rssi" method to return an average
rssi value based on samples collected over the last second
o enable beacon reception so even idle systems maintain a running history
of signal quality
This data may also be useful for improving the rate control algorithm.

o mask off interrupt status bits that we don't care about so we don't do
the wrong thing; this fixes a problem where the beacon miss interrupt status
bit is delivered together with other status bits when operating in monitor
mode (we would post a beacon miss swi and then do the wrong thing)
