* Added verify_mesh_*_len functions that verify the length
according to the amendment spec and return number of destination addresses
for allocation of appropriate struct size in memory;
* Modified hwmp_recv_action_meshpath to allocate HWMP ie instead of
storing them on the stack and store all available field according the flags;
* Modify hwmp_add_mesh* to work with all cases of HWMP according to amendment.
* Modify hwmp_send_* to calculate correct len of bytes for the HWMP ie.
* Added new M_80211_MESH_* malloc defines.
* Added macros with magic numbers for HWMP ie sizes according to amendment.
* Added the external address to all HWMP ie structs.

* Moved old categories as specified by D4.0 to be action fields of MESH category
as specified in amendment spec;
* Modified functions to use MESH category and its action fields:
+ ieee80211_send_action_register
+ ieee80211_send_action
+ ieee80211_recv_action_register
+ieee80211_recv_action;
* Modified ieee80211_hwmp_init and hwmp_send_action so they uses correct
action fields as specified in amendment spec;
* Modified ieee80211_parse_action so that it verifies MESH frames.
* Change Mesh Link Metric to use one information element as amendment spec.
Draft 4.0 defined two different information elements for request and response.

* Change the mesh IE size to be IEEE80211_MESH_CONF_SZ rather than the
size of the structure;
* conf_cap is now a uint8_t rather than a uint16_t (uint16_t in D3.0,
uint8_t in the amendment spec);
* Update mesh config capability bits - earlier bits were from draft X,
current is amendment spec;
* Update the following to be an enum rather than #define and added
a VENDOR entry too from the amendment spec;
IEEE80211_MESHCONF_PATH_*
IEEE80211_MESHCONF_METRIC_*
IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CC_*
IEEE80211_MESHCONF_SYNC_*
IEEE80211_MESHCONF_AUTH_*
* Kept IEEE80211_MESHCONF_FORM_* and IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CAP_* as
defines because they are defined in a way that we need to mask in/out
information;
* In IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CAP_* IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CAP_TBTTA is removed
and 0x80 is made reserved as defined in the amendment spec.

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.
