and will be necessary in a future of possible non-INET networking.

that selects a callback from an interface prefix name. This allows us to
report a meaningful error when the user types 'ifconfig wlan0 create',
for example, and also kills some redundant code.

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.

when the CC is not set. Note NO_COUNTRY is set to 0xffff for now
(must be 16 bits as ieee80211_regdomain struct defines sku's and
cc's as uint16_t which may need fixing).
o do not require 1/2 and 1/4 rate channels be present in the
calibration list when doing a gsm regulatory change; the
existing 900MHz cards are not self-identifying so there is
no way (using the calibration channel list) to check
o store XML_Parser in the state block so we can report line numbers for errors
o complain about netband w/o mode

o complain about duplicate freqband
o complain about unknown channel flags
o complain about band w/o freqband's
o complain about band w/o maxpower
o complain about country w/o ISO cc
o complain about country w/o regdomain reference
all others. Use this to disambiguate cmd line arguments that can
be either clone params or regular parameters so, in particular,
"bssid" again works as a regular parameter.
While here leverage the above to improve the logic for flushing
clone operations on the first !clone cmd line parameter.

header is now in two parts: bsdxml.h and bsdxml_external.h, representing
the expat.h and expat_external.h headers. Updated the info on the man
page as well. Also, fixed a type-error in a printf in
sbin/ifconfig/regdomain.c that would cause a compiler warning.

Note this includes changes to all drivers and moves some device firmware
loading to use firmware(9) and a separate module (e.g. ral). Also there
no longer are separate wlan_scan* modules; this functionality is now
bundled into the wlan module.
