o change ieee80211_parse_htcap and ieee80211_parse_htinfo to save only
internal state obtained from the ie's; no dynamic state such as
ni_chw is altered
o add ieee80211_ht_updateparams to parse ht cap+info ie's and update
dynamic node state
o change ieee80211_ht_node_init to not take an htcap ie that is parsed;
instead have the caller make a separate call as one caller wants to
parse the ie while another wants to parse both cap+info ie's and
update state so can better do this with ieee80211_ht_updateparams
These changes fix sta mode state handling where the node's channel
width was shifted to ht20/ht40 prematurely.
For receive:
o explicitly tag rx frames w/ M_AMPDU instead of passing frames through
the reorder processing according to the node having HT and the frame
being QoS data
o relax ieee80211_ampdu_reorder asserts to allow any frame to be passed
in, unsuitable frames are returned to the caller for normal processing;
this permits drivers that cannot inspect the PLCP to mark all data
frames as potential ampdu candidates with only a small penalty
o add M_AMPDU_MPDU to identify frames resubmitted from the reorder q
For transmit:
o tag aggregation candidates with M_AMPDU_MPDU
o fix the QoS ack policy set in ampdu subframes; we only support immediate
BA streams which should be marked for "normal ack" to get implicit block
ack behaviour; interestingly certain vendor parts BA'd frames with the
11e BA ack policy set
o do not assign a sequence # to aggregation candidates; this must be done
when frames are submitted for transmit (NB: this can/will be handled
better when aggregation is pulled up to net80211)
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.
