net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft
standard. This standard is expected to become final next year.
This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c
which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation,
routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c
which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network.
HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but
others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented.
Authentication and encryption are not implemented.
There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be
used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you
how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create
wlandev ... wlanmode mesh).
A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled
by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98.
Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl.
More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh
Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that
bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported.
Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to
Sam Leffler for his support.
Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a
Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

version field sent via gif(4)+if_bridge(4). The EtherIP
implementation found on FreeBSD 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 7.0, 7.1, and 7.2 had
an interoperability issue because it sent the incorrect EtherIP
packets and discarded the correct ones.
This change introduces the following two flags to gif(4):
accept_rev_ethip_ver: accepts both correct EtherIP packets and ones
with reversed version field, if enabled. If disabled, the gif
accepts the correct packets only. This flag is enabled by
default.
send_rev_ethip_ver: sends EtherIP packets with reversed version field
intentionally, if enabled. If disabled, the gif sends the correct
packets only. This flag is disabled by default.
These flags are stored in struct gif_softc and can be set by
ifconfig(8) on per-interface basis.
Note that this is an incompatible change of EtherIP with the older
FreeBSD releases. If you need to interoperate older FreeBSD boxes and
new versions after this commit, setting "send_rev_ethip_ver" is
needed.

channel modes:
o usurp 'h' mode flag for half-width channels
o add 'q' mode flag for quarter-width channels
o rewrite rate parameter parsing to handle fractional values
o merge mode loops to eliminate ordering assumptions
o replace 0x80 with IEEE80211_RATE_MCS
o add missing channel flags for ECM, indoor, and outdoor constraints
o use HT capabilities to short-circuit HT20/HT40 channel construction
o rewrite 1/2 and 1/4 width channel handling yet again; previously
we assumed there was a full-width version of the channel in the
calibration table but that's not always true (e.g. for the Public
Safety Band), now we first check the calibration table for the
exact channel we want then fall back to the heuristics we used before
o fix HT channel construction; wasn't adjusting band edges for HT40
channel bandwidth requirements
things, 1/2 and 1/4 width channels are hidden behind the full width
channel; this is needed because they are ordered such that they
appear after in the channel table
o only include 1/2 and 1/4 width channels when they are specified in the
regulatory database description; previously we treated them as if they
were part of the band and blindly added them for 11a/g
o check the channel list returned in the devcaps to identify whether a
device supports 1/2 or 1/4 width channels on a band; this might be
better brought out as a capability bit to avoid filling the channel
list w/ 1/2 and 1/4 width channels but then cards that only support
these channels in a range of frequencies could not be described (though
right now we don't check frequency range only band)
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
o correct typo that caused random channel selection
o explicitly add 1/2 and 1/4 width channels because channel lookups match
flags that include IEEE80211_CHANNEL_HALF and IEEE80211_CHANNEL_QUARTER
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.

The name trunk is misused as the networking term trunk means carrying multiple

new interface. In other cases loading the module is unwanted and
can lead to ill side effects. One such effect found is as follows:
"kldunload if_foo" tells the module to kill all its interfaces,
which results in messages sent to devd; the module unloads. Then
devd starts processing the messages, which ends up in a etc script
running ifconfig fooX, which reloads the module.

in the ifconfig(8) grammar.

address learned by the bridge is made permanent, the address will not age out
and most importantly will not migrate to another interface.
This can be used to stop mac address poisoning or clients roaming in much the
same way as static entries without the hassle of preloading the table.
RSTP provides faster spanning tree convergence, the protocol will exchange
information with neighboring switches to quickly transition to forwarding
without creating loops. The code will default to RSTP mode but will downgrade
any port connected to a legacy STP network so is fully backward compatible.

Presently, ifconfig callbacks are used for L2 configuration, media
and vlan, so actions associated with address assignment, like sending
out a gratuitous ARP, should go when L2 is running already.
This also should fix the problem with setting up vlan interfaces

to ifconfig at once.
Future work: Consider introducing several ifconfig callback lists
to invoke callbacks orderly.
