After discussion with Sam, switch back to use firmware(9) instead of
having the firmware in hex format.
Put the binary firmware uuencoded into sys/contrib/dev/npe, and slap a
LICENSE file, as found on the Intel website.

This patch was part of ACPI-CA 20070508 release and the
following is excerpt from its change log:
Fixed a problem where the Global Lock handle was not properly
updated if a thread that acquired the Global Lock via executing
AML code then attempted to acquire the lock via the
AcpiAcquireGlobalLock interface. Reported by Joe Liu.

uuencoded format along with their respective LICENSE files.
- Add new share/doc/legal directory to BSD.usr.dist mtree file. This is the
place we install LICENSE files for restricted firmwares.
- Teach firmware(9) and kmod.mk about licensed firmwares. Restricted firmwares
won't load properly unless legal.<name>.license_ack is set to 1, either
via kenv(1) or /boot/loader.conf.

o remove os-specific glue code; it's now the responsibility of
the driver
o add wackelf utility for patching the ELF magic number on arm
builds since noone can agree on how to mark a .o file as not
having any floating point instructions
o remove radar/dfs-related entry points; folks have finally
decided how to support dfs w/o polluting the hal
o properly recognize AR2424 chips (they were being rejected on
attach despite being fully supported)
o add HAL_CAP_RXORN_FATAL capability to control how RXORN errors
are handled; previously RXORN was always treated as fatal because
older chips required a reset; now we do not treat it as fatal
for "newer chips" (noone seems to know what the cutoff is so
this capability can be used to override the current guestimate)
o HAL_CAP_RXTSTAMP_PREC capability to export the number of bits
of precision for timestamp data returned in the rx descriptor
o remove public exposure of the compression buffer; it is chip
specific and never belonged in the public view
o change definition of HAL_INT_GLOBAL from an enum member to a
#define to workaround compilers that bitch about enum values
that appear overflow 31 bits
o add support for newer chips that can store the tkip mic key
together with the cipher key in a single key cache entry
o split tx/rx descriptor into a h/w section and a s/w portion;
this permits storing the s/w area in cached memory when the
h/w area is stored in uncached memory; this also shrinks
memory use since only one status block is needed while multiple
tx/rx descriptors may be required per frame
o add final transmit series index to the transmit descriptor status
so rate control algorithms don't need to grovel through h/w state
to find it
o remove ds_vdata field from the descriptor state as part of the
radar changes
o fix excessive stack usage for some 5212 rf backends
o correct rfkill handling when the pin polarity is 0 true
o correct handling of tsf wrap when reading 64-bit values

part of the hal distribution early on when the hal was built for
each os but it's been portable for a long time so move the os-specific
code out (and off the vendor branch)
o correct the copyright on ah_osdep.?; it was mistakenly given a
restricted license and not a dual-bsd/gpl license
o remove the module api definition as it was never used
o fixup include paths for move of ah_osdep.h
MFC after: 2 weeks
o define HAL_SOFTC, HAL_BUS_TAG, and HAL_BUS_HANDLE to be machine
independent; this fixes portability issues with bsd systems
o add ah_disable api for turning off operation of both MAC and PHY
o add ah_getAntennaSwitch and ah_setAntennaSwitch api's for better control
of antenna usage and diversity
o add ah_setAckCTSRate and ah_setAckCTSRate for controlling tx rate of
h/w generated frames
o add ah_setBeaconTimers api for simpler setting of the beacon timer registers
o remove ah_waitForBeaconDone api
o add HAL_TXDESC_DURENA flag to enable h/w duration setting in tx descriptor
o correct documentation of min/max tx power units (.5 dBm)
o switch arm, mips, and powerpc builds to use functions for register
read/write operations
o fix sparc builds to not reference %g2 and %g3 registers
o add public builds for SoC's
MFC after: 1 month
o new chip support
o new platforms: powerpc-be-elf, sparc64-be-elf, and alpha-elf
(alpha is untested, others are known to work)
o many fixes and improvements

one) ifaddr_byindex() users were converted to use ifp->if_addr.

- Change iso88025_ifattach() and fddi_ifattach() to accept MAC

this work.
- Fix a typo in rsmisc.c and a style change for consistency.
