o add ic_curchan and use it uniformly for specifying the current
channel instead of overloading ic->ic_bss->ni_chan (or in some
drivers ic_ibss_chan)
o add ieee80211_scanparams structure to encapsulate scanning-related
state captured for rx frames
o move rx beacon+probe response frame handling into separate routines
o change beacon+probe response handling to treat the scan table
more like a scan cache--look for an existing entry before adding
a new one; this combined with ic_curchan use corrects handling of
stations that were previously found at a different channel
o move adhoc neighbor discovery by beacon+probe response frames to

IFF_DRV_RUNNING, as well as the move from ifnet.if_flags to
ifnet.if_drv_flags. Device drivers are now responsible for
synchronizing access to these flags, as they are in if_drv_flags. This
helps prevent races between the network stack and device driver in
maintaining the interface flags field.
Many __FreeBSD__ and __FreeBSD_version checks maintained and continued;

Crypto changes:
o change driver/net80211 key_alloc api to return tx+rx key indices; a
driver can leave the rx key index set to IEEE80211_KEYIX_NONE or set
it to be the same as the tx key index (the former disables use of
the key index in building the keyix->node mapping table and is the
default setup for naive drivers by null_key_alloc)
o add cs_max_keyid to crypto state to specify the max h/w key index a
driver will return; this is used to allocate the key index mapping
table and to bounds check table loookups
o while here introduce ieee80211_keyix (finally) for the type of a h/w
key index
o change crypto notifiers for rx failures to pass the rx key index up
as appropriate (michael failure, replay, etc.)
Node table changes:
o optionally allocate a h/w key index to node mapping table for the
station table using the max key index setting supplied by drivers
(note the scan table does not get a map)
o defer node table allocation to lateattach so the driver has a chance
to set the max key id to size the key index map
o while here also defer the aid bitmap allocation
o add new ieee80211_find_rxnode_withkey api to find a sta/node entry
on frame receive with an optional h/w key index to use in checking
mapping table; also updates the map if it does a hash lookup and the
found node has a rx key index set in the unicast key; note this work
is separated from the old ieee80211_find_rxnode call so drivers do
not need to be aware of the new mechanism
o move some node table manipulation under the node table lock to close
a race on node delete
o add ieee80211_node_delucastkey to do the dirty work of deleting
unicast key state for a node (deletes any key and handles key map
references)
Ath driver:
o nuke private sc_keyixmap mechansim in favor of net80211 support
o update key alloc api
These changes close several race conditions for the ath driver operating
in ap mode. Other drivers should see no change. Station mode operation
for ath no longer uses the key index map but performance tests show no
noticeable change and this will be fixed when the scan table is eliminated
with the new scanning support.

struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

bunch of code warts
o add a new flag IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP to indicate a key is a WPA Group
key so devices don't need to guess (temporarily add this flag in the

panic with the NDISulator if you did "ifconfig ndis0 10.0.0.1/24,"
whereas "ifconfig ndis0 10.0.0.1/24 up" worked fine. The double fault
was caused by the ifconfig thread running out of kernel stack space.
(This was partly due to the NDIsulator using a couple of big buffers on
the stack, but even after fixing that the double fault persisted.)
It turns out that ndis_init() is called in both cases, but in the first
case the code path passes through ieee80211_ioctl(), and it turns out
ieee80211_ioctl() consumes a whopping 2400 bytes of stack space.
Apparently, gcc -O2 causes the ieee80211_ioctl_get80211() routine to
be inlined into ieee80211_ioctl(), and for some reason which I do not
fully understand, this causes ieee80211_ioctl() to consume an extra 2K
of stack space.
To prevent this overly agressive optimization, ieee80211_ioctl_get80211()
is now declared with __attribute__ ((noinline)). With this change,
ieee80211_ioctl() now only reserves about 200 bytes of stack instead of 2400.
