Do not try to start a scan when interface is not running.
How-to-reproduce:
1) ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev urtwn0
2) wlandebug -i wlan0 state
3) ifconfig wlan0 scan
- Allow to enable/disable promiscuous mode when:
* interface is not a member of bridge, or;
* request was issued by user (ifconfig wlan0 promisc), or;
* interface is in MONITOR or AHDEMO mode.
- Drop local workarounds in mwl(4) and malo(4).
Tested with:
- Intel 3945BG, STA mode;
- RTL8188CUS, MONITOR mode;

Although we correctly (now!) calculate the right A-MPDU parameters, the
ioctl() has some faulty logic for choosing which to display. The BSS
params are what were advertised to us, and we would have chosen the
lower of theirs/ours when advertising the HT bits back at them.
So, we /should/ track and fix that so we display the correct A-MPDU
density and size.
However, since I'm a forgetful type, and I don't want to have to re-learn
that this is wrong, drop in a comment so I or someone else fixes it.
Or, when I discover this again in 4 years, I don't have to go digging
too much to remember.

and ieee80211_ioctl_scanreq())
Also, drop __noinline workarounds; stack overflow is not reproducible

wpa_supplicant actually calls the wpa ioctl with cipher 0 as part
of the teardown process and this returns an ioctl error.
It's required as part of the (hopefully!) upcoming encrypted
IBSS support which does indeed do the above as part of interface
setup and then exits ungracefully when it gets an ioctl error.
(I'll fix wpa_supplicant in a later commit as part of other work.)
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,

Still, drivers: ndis, wtap, mwl, ipw, bwn, wi, upgt, uath were not
tested. Changes to mwl, ipw, bwn, wi, upgt are trivial and chances
of problems are low. The wtap wasn't compilable even before this change.
But the ndis driver is complex, and it is likely to be broken with this
commit. Help with testing and debugging it is appreciated.

DragonflyBSD uses the FreeBSD wireless stack and drivers. Their malloc()
API is named differently, so they don't have userland/kernel symbol
clashes like we do (think libuinet.)
So, to make it easier for them and to port to other BSDs/other operating
systems, start hiding the malloc specific bits behind defines in
ieee80211_freebsd.h.
DragonflyBSD can now put these portability defines in their local
ieee80211_dragonflybsd.h.
This should be a great big no-op for everyone running wifi.
TODO:
* kill M_WAITOK - some platforms just don't want you to use it
* .. and/or handle it returning NULL rather than waiting forever.
* MALLOC_DEFINE() ?
* Migrate the well-known malloc names (eg M_TEMP) to net80211
namespace defines.

Without this things like 'ifconfig wlan0 list sta' don't work when the

IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

The "find node" function call will increase the node reference anyway;
so there's no reason to hold the node table lock during the MLME change.
The only reason I could think of is to stop overlapping mlme ioctls
from causing issues, but this should be fixed a different way.
This fixes a whole class of LORs that creep up when nodes are being
timed out or removed by hostapd.
Tested:
* AR5416, hostap, with nodes coming and going. No LORs or stability
issues were observed.
This supports both station and hostap modes:
* Station mode quiet time element support listens to quiet time
IE's and modifies the local quiet time configuration as appropriate;
* Hostap mode both obeys the locally configured quiet time period
and includes it in beacon frames so stations also can obey as needed.

* WPA-None requires ap_scan=2:
The major difference between ap_scan=1 (default) and 2 is, that no
IEEE80211_IOC_SCAN* ioctls/functions are called, though, there is a
dependency on those. For example the call to wpa_driver_bsd_scan()
sets the interface UP, this never happens, therefore the interface
must be marked up in wpa_driver_bsd_associate(). IEEE80211_IOC_SSID
also is not called, which means that the SSID has not been set prior
to the IEEE80211_MLME_ASSOC call.
* WPA-None has no support for sequence number updates, it doesn't make
sense to check for replay violations..
* I had some crashes right after the switch to RUN state, issue is
that sc->sc_lastrs was not yet defined.

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.

this because we are safeguarded against calls coming back through if_ioctl

sleepable context for net80211 driver callbacks. This removes the need for USB
and firmware based drivers to roll their own code to defer the chip programming
for state changes, scan requests, channel changes and mcast/promisc updates.
When a driver callback completes the hardware state is now guaranteed to have
been updated and is in sync with net80211 layer.
This nukes around 1300 lines of code from the wireless device drivers making
them more readable and less race prone.
The net80211 layer has been updated as follows
- all state/channel changes are serialised on the taskqueue.
- ieee80211_new_state() always queues and can now be called from any context
- scanning runs from a single taskq function and executes to completion. driver
callbacks are synchronous so the channel, phy mode and rx filters are
guaranteed to be set in hardware before probe request frames are
transmitted.
