o fix channel power printing (they are signed values)
o add show statab to dump a node table and automatically dump the sta
table of a com structure with /s
turbo option in addition to the mode bits; otherwise if the current
channel is a turbo mode channel we'll form an invalid media setting
and the ifmedia_set operation in vap_attach will panic.
While here use C99-style initialization for an array indexed by mode;
this makes it consistent w/ other usage and avoids breakage if we
should ever change the set of modes.
channel, only accept a real 11g channel; this fixes a problem where we were
wrongly promoting 11b to a Dynamic Turbo G channel which broke scanning on
channel 6
o max antenna gain
o driver private opaque data
Note this grows the size of a channel to 16 bytes; which makes the
default channel table 4Kbytes (up from 3Kbytes).
o change ioctl's that pass channel lists in/out to handle variable-size
arrays instead of a fixed (compile-time) value; we do this in a way
that maintains binary compatibility
o change ifconfig so all channel list data structures are now allocated
to hold MAXCHAN entries (1536); this, for example, allows the kernel
to return > IEEE80211_CHAN_MAX entries for calls like IEEE80211_IOC_DEVCAPS
the ISO tables, mark them accordingly
o add sku's for handling 900MHz cards
o add opaque struct defs and change []'s to *'s so this file can be
included w/o requiring all of net80211 to be pulled in
o make CTRY_DEBUG and CTRY_DEFAULT public
the vap ioctl. This means that the parent interface should hopefully be up
before we return to userland, it does not depend on the parent init succeeding,
just that it was run.
This fixes wpa_supplicant with ndis and USB where the parent interfaces can be
slow to init.
o add net80211 support for a tdma vap that is built on top of the
existing adhoc-demo support
o add tdma scheduling of frame transmission to the ath driver; it's
conceivable other devices might be capable of this too in which case
they can make use of the 802.11 protocol additions etc.
o add minor bits to user tools that need to know: ifconfig to setup and
configure, new statistics in athstats, and new debug mask bits
While the architecture can support >2 slots in a TDMA BSS the current
design is intended (and tested) for only 2 slots.

(e.g. ath): we must check the key index and not whether the key
points at a cipher other than "undef". This looks like it's been
broken for a while. Might be worth adding an explicit clear cipher
at some point though this would require changes to the usage of
IEEE80211_KEY_UNDEFINED.

really was meant to be 256. Adjust usage accordingly and replace
bogus usage of this value in checking IEEE channel #'s.
NB: this causes an ABI change; ifconfig must be recompiled
indicates if an association id is required before outbound traffic
is permitted. This cleans up the previous change that broke mcast
traffic "to the stack" in ap mode as a side effect.

directly include only the header files needed. This reduces the
unneeded spamming of various headers into lots of files.
For now, this leaves us with very few modules including vnet.h
and thus needing to depend on opt_route.h.

capabilities reported by the ap. These need to be cross-checked
against the local configuration in the vap. Previously we were
only checking the ap capabilities which meant that if an ap reported
it was ff-capable but we were not setup to use them we'd try to do
ff aggregation and drop the frame.
There are a number of problems to be fixed here but applying this
fix immediately as the problem causes all traffic to stop (and has
not workaround).

in sta and adhoc modes; this should've been done forever ago as most all
drivers use this hook to set per-station transmit parameters such as for
tx rate control
o adjust drivers to remove explicit calls to the driver newassoc method
(unless explicitly locked to mode 11b) so when we join the bss the
channel attached to the scan cache entry may need to be demoted.
o demote to 11b if the ap is advertising 11b rates
o skip the ap if it's 11b but we're locked to 11g (could consider this
advisory but for now treat it as mandatory)
o handle an odd edge case, if there is a fixed transmit rate for 11g
then the rate check against the 11b ap will fail, try to demote to
11b and retry the rate check

the net80211 layer has complete control over the handling of mgt frames
(in particular, the ac, tx rate, and retry count); this also allows us
to purge the M_LINK0 flag that was attached to mbufs to mark them as
needing encryption for shared key auth
o change ieee80211_send_setup to take a tid parameter so it can be used
to setup QoS frames
o correct BAR frame construction for AMPDU
o retransmit BAR frames until ACK'd or timeout (use tunables to
control behaviour, default is very aggressive)
o defer seq# update until BAR frame is ACK'd
o add BAR response handling callback for driver to interpose and
push new state to device or push pending aggregates
While here also:
o add backpointer to node in the per-tid tx aggregation data structure
o move ampdu tx state setup/teardown work to separate functions
