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
a new ieee80211_add_neighbor routine

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;
some less so.

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.

frame being sent is to be ack'd and hasn't been filtered by the h/w;
this insures we don't pass in tx descriptors that have no meaningful
state (e.g. mcast/bcast frames are not acked and so have no tx retry

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.

o purge ath_initkeytable; it's not needed
o add multicast key search support for supporting multiple group keys
(disabled for now; requires updated hal)
o create keycache entry for stations using open auth so they get h/w

the net80211 layer
an ap in 11g with protection enabled
o correct rate selection when operating in 11g with protection when no
packets have been sent yet (from John Bicket)
o track api change to get first descriptor and use it to collect the frame
length for calculating the state bin
o add more debugging and shuffle some existing debugging to give more info
o bump version to distinguish bug fixes
to the rate control module for tx complete processing; this enables
rate control algorithms to extract the packet length for xmits that
require multiple descriptors
o mark rx frames including FCS in the payload with the
IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_F_FCS flag
o remove hack to copy 802.11 headers with padding out of line; instead mark
the frames with IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_F_DATAPAD and require applications to
do the work
o split precalculated radiotap flags into tx+rx now that they can be different
Note the full usefulness of these changes depends on updates to applications
that process radiotap data.
o don't reclaim any previous beacon state in ath_beacon_alloc; do it
explicitly in ath_newstate
o reference count the node held in the beacon frame state block
o process ibss merge more intelligently; let the state machine do the
right thing instead of explicitly setting the new bssi id
o explicitly stop tx dma before doing beacon setup to handle the ibss
merge case
o increase the max per-frame tx descriptor count and the number of tx
buffers for forthcoming fast frame support
o correct the max scatter/gather count; it cannot be larger than the
max(tx,rx,beacon) descriptor counts
