- Don't abuse module names to facilitate ifconfig module loading;
such abuse isn't really needed. (And if we do need type information
associated with a module then we should make it explicit and not
use hacks.)
of the entries have a description, we'll use that to override the
description that the pccard layer generates for us.
This saves about 930 bytes in the module, so I feel it won't hurt the
crowded boot disks....

Put what I think are the correct TX RATE translation tables
in place for LUCENT firmware. This is based on the 4.x driver.
Maybe it should be table driven?
ifconfig wi0 media DS/11Mbps still fails, but it fails before
we even get to the txrate stuff, so other things are wrong.

Default ic_fixed_rate to -1. This is the same thing as autoselect.
There really should be a #define for this...
one tx buffer for these cards. The old driver only used one. We use
1 for symbol, and 3 for prism cards.
o Don't do the maximum loops thing in the ISR. In fact, revert to the
old interrupt handler. Lucent cards don't seem to work too well if
you don't disable/enable interrupts from the card in the ISR.
Between these two changes, Lucent cards suck less. They work in
autoselect mode only. And seem to get 1Mbps or 2Mbps only. Setting a
specific media speed doesn't work, and I've had a few issues even with
these patches. They turn a former brick into a nearly useful card.
These patches work on the prism 2 and 2.5 PC Card cards that I have.
I've not tested this on PCI cards. I suspect, but couldn't find
proof, that they were the reason that the ISR was changed so radically
from its FreeBSD roots in NetBSD. We might need to have a variant ISR
if so.
code both seem to call wi_start (directly or via the if_start pointer)
without checking to see if OACTIVE is 0. In addition, I think that
with the use of 3 transmit buffers this routine can be called with
OACTIVE set, but I might be mistaken about that (and it doesn't
matter).

attach routine, calling WIUNLOCK in the error case of one of the ifs
for that routine is now bogus. This should have been removed when the
WILOCK() was removed, but wasn't.

o don't strip the Ethernet header from inbound packets; pass packets
up the stack intact (required significant changes to some drivers)
o reference common definitions in net/ethernet.h (e.g. ETHER_ALIGN)
o track ether_ifattach/ether_ifdetach API changes
o track bpf changes (use BPF_TAP and BPF_MTAP)
o track vlan changes (ifnet capabilities, revised processing scheme, etc.)
o use if_input to pass packets "up"
o call ether_ioctl for default handling of ioctls

for this, but the 6.x and 8.x 'software' versions that I have seem to

Add dBm comm quality RID. This is like the normal comm quality rid,
except the signal and noise numbers are normalized to dBm. Some
revisions of the prism firmware, however, don't support this RID, and
some that do support it return 0 for quality and/or noise. Your
milage may vary.

a kernel option (WI_SYMBOL_FIRMWARE).
Note: This only downloads into the RAM of these cards. It doesn't
download into FLASH, and is somewhat limited. There needs to be a
better way to deal, but this works for now. My Symbol LA4132 CF card
works now.

b) the inability to associate certain types of cards (most notibly

Idea obtained from OpenBSD, but I implemented it by clearing the
IFF_PROMISC flag rather than the refusing to honor it downstream.
