Also, go ahead and fail if we can't load the firmware. It should have
failed like this, but never did (firmware loads generally don't fail).
CIS, weren't actually used anywhere (other than the generic PC Card
code when certain variables are defined). They aren't used in NetBSD
either. Make things simpler by removing them. Change PLANEX_2 to
PLANEX and tweak wi and owi to use that instead. The PLANEX id seems
to actually be pci ID assigned to planex, not its pcmcia id. Ooops.
I don't know if this is a reporting error from where this entry came
from, or if it is a mistake on PLANEX's part. I suspect the latter,
as ACTIONTEC and NEWMEDIA made the same mistake (although new media
may be because it uses an advansys chip inside). Make a note of this
in the file. The 0xc entires may be JEITA assigned, so note that as
well.

too much incestuous knowledge about the internals of the
802.11 layer but this at least fixes adhoc mode.
o don't encapsulate on tx; the chip expect a raw frame w/o the crypto header
o clear the WEP bit in the 802.11 header on rx so the 802.11 layer doesn't
try to strip the crypto header
o clobber the "drop unencoded frames" state bit when privacy is enabled so
rx'd frames we pass up to the 802.11 layer are not discarded as unencrypted
This stuff will need to be redone if anyone decides to add WPA support.

This does not change the queueing yet. These changes will follow in a
seperate commit. Same with the driver changes, which need case by case

different cards that matched vendor/id, but weren't wi cards. This is
because the vendor foolishly didn't have unique product ids. Symbol
has a serial card that would otherwise match the wi driver, for
example...

there's not dependencies on pccard symboles, such a dependency is not
necessary. This means that drivers that have multiple attachments can
not drag bogus devices into the kernel at load time.
We can't (yet) do this with pci and isa. Drivers written for them
actually do seem to have symbols that depend on these busses'
implementation code.
ndis not touched until other things can be tested.
clip/destroy the dB value contained in the wi(4)'s receive frames,
it doesn't match with the flag set in the radiotap header
(unperturbed dB versus dBm).
a new bpf_mtap2 routine that does the right thing for an mbuf
and a variable-length chunk of data that should be prepended.
o while we're sweeping the drivers, use u_int32_t uniformly when
when prepending the address family (several places were assuming
sizeof(int) was 4)
o return M_ASSERTVALID to BPF_MTAP* now that all stack-allocated
mbufs have been eliminated; this may better be moved to the bpf
routines

versions of the firmware. It responds more slowly to commands, and we
bogusly failed them. We assume that all versions of the intersil
firmware before 1.0 are 10 times slower and will give it 10x the time
to finish.
# for 5.2 we should always just assume 5s.
o Back out workaround for not resetting lucent cards more than once. With
these fixes, it appaers they are no longer necessary.
o Set wi_gone when the card goes awol: typically when we get 0xffff back from
the card. Also, don't interact with a card that's gone, so we fail in
seconds rather than minutes. Also reduce amount of time we wait to .5s
in wi_cmd.
o clear wi_gone on ifconfig down to give some cards a chance after they wedge
(this appears to unwedge one of my prism cards with old firmware). ifconfig
up will fail quickly enough if the card really is out to lunch.
o Add delay in wi_init of 100ms.
o wi_stop(ifp, 0->1) changes so that we clear sc_enabled so that we
exit out of the interrupt routine by just acking the interrupt

operating mode to HostAP, the card will lock up indefinitely (but
the wi(4) driver can recover if you eject the card). The problem is
that the card needs to be "reset" in a way before you even change the
media to hostap. In practice this isn't as noticeable because you
probably do some operation beforehand which prevents the lock-up
before you enable hostap mode.
e.g.:
"ifconfig wi0 up media autoselect mediaopt hostap" will lock up
(if you just inserted the card).
"ifconfig wi0 up ssid foo media autoselect mediaopt hostap" won't lock up.

This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo

count handling of station entries in hostap mode:
Input path:
o driver is now expected to find the node associated with the
sender of a received frame; use ic_bss if none is located
o driver passes the (referenced) node into ieee80211_input for
use within the wlan module and is responsible for cleaning up
on return
o the antenna state is no longer passed up with each frame; this
is now considered driver-private state and drivers are responsible
for keeping it in the driver-private part of a node
Output path:
Revamp output path for management frames to eliminate redundant
locking that causes problems and to correct reference counting
bogosity that occurs when stations are timed out due to inactivity
(in AP mode). On output the refcnt'd node is stashed in the pkthdr's
recvif field (yech) and retrieved by the driver. This eliminates
an unref/ref scenario and related node table unlock/lock due to the
driver looking up the node. This is particularly important when
stations are timed out as this causes a lock order reversal that
can result in a deadlock. As a byproduct we also reduce the overhead
for sending management frames (minimal). Additional fallout from
this is a change to ieee80211_encap to return a refcn't node for
tieing to the outbound frame. Node refcnts are not reclaimed until
after a frame is completely processed (e.g. in the tx interrupt
handler). This is especially important for timed out stations as
this deref will be the final one causing the node entry to be
reclaimed.
Additional semi-related changes:
o replace m_copym use with m_copypacket (optimization)
o add assert to verify ic_bss is never free'd during normal operation
o add comments explaining calling conventions by drivers for frames
going in each direction
o remove extraneous code that "cannot be executed" (e.g. because
pointers may never be null)
