- there is a local variable for sc->fw_dma, use that instead
- OpenBSD uses 5*hz to wait for firmware to be loaded
- in case the firmware module contains invalid data, actually release it
from scratch. Remove htole16() calls, rxon.chan is an uint8_t,
ieee80211_chan2ieee() does return an ic_ieee as an int, but I heavily
doubt a htole16() will buy us anything here.
- IWN_TXOP_TO_US is equal to IEEE80211_TXOP_TO_US
- use IEEE80211_DUR_TU
- ieee80211_add_rates/ieee80211_add_xrates are public, use em
- copied ieee80211_add_ssid it is not public
This fixes hostap mode for at least ral(4) and run(4), because there is
no sufficient call into drivers which could be used initialize the node
related ratectl variables.

- Do not call iwn_calib_reset() for monitor mode. We do not want to query
information and do runtime calibration while in monitor mode. Poking the
firmware with adjustments for calibration results in firmware asserts.
This could happened on RUN -> RUN transition only.
- Adjust blink rate for monitor mode. It's supposed to not freak out and
turn off after a while.
- While here, remove one useless assignment of calib.state, it gets
overwritten later in the function.

the IEEE80211_C_RATECTL flag set, default to NONE for all drivers. Only if
a driver calls ieee80211_ratectl_init() check if the NONE algo is still
selected and try to use AMRR in that case. Drivers are still free to use
any other algo by calling ieee80211_ratectl_set() prior to the
ieee80211_ratectl_init() call.
After this change it is now safe to assume that a ratectl algo is always
available and selected, which renders the IEEE80211_C_RATECTL flag pretty
much useless. Therefore revert r211314 and 211546.

- unobscure some of the code by moving it into its own functions
- get rid of some magic numbers
- create similar structure as the reference driver has, this should
make further syncs easier
- The 6000 series WiMAX devices need a separate firmware.
- The b-gen devices are not hooked because the hardware revision type
is not know.

* Enable DC calibration and crystal calibration on Centrino Advanced-N
6250 parts.
* Workaround for a HW bug (does not affect 4965AGN) that may sporadically
affect latency under some rare circumstances. From a similar commit to
iwlwifi.
* Update sensitivity settings for 5000 series to workaround a performance
bug in the DSP (1000 is not affected so we keep the old values for 5000).
* Update sensitivity settings for 6000 series.
* Set differential gains on 6250 too (but use a 1.0 factor, not 1.5).
* Init OFDM sensitivity with min value (which depends on the chip)
instead of hardcoding it to 90.
* Read calibration version from ROM and set IWN_GP_DRIVER_CALIB_VER6
bit on 6x50 if version >= 6.

This framework allows drivers to abstract the rate control algorithm and
just feed the framework with the usable parameters. The rate control
framework will now deal with passing the parameters to the selected
algorithm. Right now we have AMRR (the default) and RSSADAPT but there's
no way to select one with ifconfig, yet.
The objective is to have more rate control algorithms in the net80211
stack so all drivers[0] can use it. Ideally, we'll have the well-known
sample rate control algorithm in the net80211 at some point so all
drivers can use it (not just ath).
[0] all drivers that do rate control in software, that is.

Pass the channel argument as a real argument and not through

in device initialization errors like:
wpa_supplicant[2928]: Failed to initiate AP scan.

By passing the current channel to hal->set_txpower() the firmware
error is fixed, at least for the 4965 chipset of my Thinkpad and
the ones tested by Bernhard.

o replace DLT_IEEE802_11 support in net80211 with DLT_IEEE802_11_RADIO

o remove rx timestamp from the rx path; it was used only by the tdma support
for debugging and was mostly useless due to it being 32-bits and mostly

o track the number of monitor mode vaps
o use bpf tap and monitor mode vap state to decide when to collect radiotap
state and dispatch frames; drivers no longer explicitly directly check
bpf state or use bpf calls to tap frames
o handle radiotap state updates on channel change in net80211; drivers
should not do this (unless they bypass net80211 which is almost always
