this was broken in r183248 when the check of wk_keyix was replaced by
a check of IEEE80211_KEY_DEVKEY (because the flag was clobbered). Define
IEEE80211_KEY_DEVICE to specify flags that are owned by net80211/driver
and use this to preserve IEEE80211_KEY_DEVKEY so we don't ask the driver
for another key index when we already have one.

o don't use the key index to identify when the driver has been
asked to allocate a key slot, use an explicit flag; allows
drivers to force s/w fallback for entries in the global table
o change callback api to allocate driver resources for a crypto key:
- de-const the key parameter so drivers can muck with the flags
- on callback failure don't automatically try to setup s/w crypto;
instead the driver must now mark the key entry for s/w crypto and
the caller will re-attach the cipher module
NB: api change permits drivers more control over fallback to s/w
crypto (e.g. based on a limited number of h/w key slots)
address specified in the ioctl and for drivers that need the address
to locate a key (e.g. for delete).
Note this changes net80211-private api's but not the driver callback;
may want to change that in the future.

Note this includes changes to all drivers and moves some device firmware
loading to use firmware(9) and a separate module (e.g. ral). Also there
no longer are separate wlan_scan* modules; this functionality is now
bundled into the wlan module.

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. Much of the scanning work was supported by
Atheros. The 11n work was supported by Marvell.
Crypto changes:
o change driver/net80211 key_alloc api to return tx+rx key indices; a
driver can leave the rx key index set to IEEE80211_KEYIX_NONE or set
it to be the same as the tx key index (the former disables use of
the key index in building the keyix->node mapping table and is the
default setup for naive drivers by null_key_alloc)
o add cs_max_keyid to crypto state to specify the max h/w key index a
driver will return; this is used to allocate the key index mapping
table and to bounds check table loookups
o while here introduce ieee80211_keyix (finally) for the type of a h/w
key index
o change crypto notifiers for rx failures to pass the rx key index up
as appropriate (michael failure, replay, etc.)
Node table changes:
o optionally allocate a h/w key index to node mapping table for the
station table using the max key index setting supplied by drivers
(note the scan table does not get a map)
o defer node table allocation to lateattach so the driver has a chance
to set the max key id to size the key index map
o while here also defer the aid bitmap allocation
o add new ieee80211_find_rxnode_withkey api to find a sta/node entry
on frame receive with an optional h/w key index to use in checking
mapping table; also updates the map if it does a hash lookup and the
found node has a rx key index set in the unicast key; note this work
is separated from the old ieee80211_find_rxnode call so drivers do
not need to be aware of the new mechanism
o move some node table manipulation under the node table lock to close
a race on node delete
o add ieee80211_node_delucastkey to do the dirty work of deleting
unicast key state for a node (deletes any key and handles key map
references)
Ath driver:
o nuke private sc_keyixmap mechansim in favor of net80211 support
o update key alloc api
These changes close several race conditions for the ath driver operating
in ap mode. Other drivers should see no change. Station mode operation
for ath no longer uses the key index map but performance tests show no
noticeable change and this will be fixed when the scan table is eliminated
with the new scanning support.

crypto modules (except in the demic case which needs it only when
doing int in s/w)
o while here fix defrag to strip the header from 2nd and later frames
o teach decap code how to handle 4-address frames
o don't pre-assign key index to the global key table entries so device

o make ieee80211_crypto_newkey take the desired flags as an argument
instead of wacking the key structure directly; this eliminates a
bunch of code warts
o add a new flag IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP to indicate a key is a WPA Group
key so devices don't need to guess (temporarily add this flag in the
ioctl code until we can get wpa_supplicant+hostapd updated)
o shuffle IEEE80211_KEY_* bits to move flags used internally to the high
nibble of the flags word
