Drivers which rely on net80211 to create the beacon need to call
ieee80211_beacon_update() on iv_update_beacon() calls. This is required
that certain bits, e.g. TIM, get updated. A call to ieee80211_beacon_alloc()
is not enough because it does not care about flags which can only change
during runtime. By design a beacon is supposed to be allocated only once
while moving into RUN state.
To handle all possible calls to iv_update_beacon() the run_updateslot()
function has been revived and run_updateprot() has been added.
run_updateslot() handles slot time changes and run_updateprot() changes
to protection, both can change while nodes associate/leave.

error address on a decoding error to unlatch it and to allow
us to print a better diagnostics message. This also has the
side effect of clearing the condition, which prevents an
interrupt storm.
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

AX88772 controllers. ASIX added a new feature for AX88178/AX88772
controllers which allows combining multiple TX frames into a single
big frame. This was to overcome one of USB limitation where it
can't generate more than 8k interrupts/sec which in turn means USB
ethernet controllers can not send more than 8k packets per second.
Using ASIX's feature greatly enhanced TX performance(more than 3~4
times) compared to 7.x driver. However it seems r184610 removed
boundary checking for buffered frames which in turn caused
instability issues under certain conditions. In addition, using
ASIX's feature triggered another issue which made USB controller
hang under certain conditions. Restarting ethernet controller
didn't help under this hang condition and unplugging and replugging
the controller was the only solution. I believe there is a silicon
bug in TX frame combining feature on AX88178/AX88772 controllers.
To address these issues, reintroduce the boundary checking for both
AX88178 and AX88772 after copying a frame to USB buffer and do not
use ASIX's multiple frame combining feature. Instead, use USB
controller's multi-frame transmit capability to enhance TX
performance as suggested by Hans[1].
This should fix a long standing axe(4) instability issues reported
on AX88772 and AX88178 controllers. While I'm here remove
unnecessary TX frame length check since upper stack always
guarantee the size of a frame to be less than MCLBYTES.
Special thanks to Derrick Brashear who tried numerous patches
during last 4 months and waited real fix with patience. Without
this enthusiastic support, patience and H/W donation I couldn't fix
it since I was not able to trigger the issue on my box.

or detached. Normally it should be changed through user land ioctl(2)
system calls but it looks there's no apps for USB and no need.
With this patch, libpcap would detect the usbus interfaces correctly and
tcpdump(1) could dump the USB packets into PCAP format with -w option.
However it couldn't print the output to console because there's no
printer-routine at tcpdump(1).
hence existing applications like webcamd are expecting that.

The main purpose of this is to expose the quirks for ejecting 3G

information on these, and with the quirks module people can try out the
modeswitch config file entries on FreeBSD, hence the SCSI strings in the
