This is a work in progress and some of this stuff may change; but hopefully I'm laying down enough stuff and space in fields to allow it to grow without another major recompile. We'll see! * Add a net80211 PHY type for VHT 2G and VHT 5G. Note - yes, VHT is supposed to be for 5GHZ, however some vendors (*cough* most of them) support some subset of VHT rate support in 2GHz. No - not 80MHz wide channels, but at least some MCS8-9 support, maybe some beamforming, and maybe some longer A-MPDU aggregates. I don't want to even think about MU-MIMO on 2GHz. * Add an ifmedia placeholder type for VHT rates. * Add channel flags for VHT, VHT20/40U/40D/80/80+80/160 * Add channel macros for the above * Add ieee80211_channel fields for the VHT information and flags, along with some padding (so this struct definitely grows.) * Add a phy type flag for VHT - 'v' * Bump the number of channels to a much higher amount - until we get something like the linux mac80211 chanctx abstraction (where the stack provides a current channel configuration via callbacks, versus the driver ever checking ic->ic_curchan or similar) we'll have to populate VHT+HT combinations. Eg, there'll likely be a full set of duplicate VHT20/40 channels to match HT channels. There will also be a full set of duplicate VHT80 channels - note that for VHT80, its assumed you're doing VHT40 as a base, so we don't need a duplicate of VHT80 + 20MHz only primary channels, only a duplicate of all the VHT40 combinations. I don't want to think about VHT80+80 or VHT160 for now - and I won't, as the current device I'm doing 11ac bringup on (QCA9880) only does VHT80. I'll likely revisit the channel configuration and scanning related stuff after I get VHT20/40 up. * Add vht flags and the basic MCS rate setup to ieee80211com, ieee80211vap and ieee80211_node in preparation for 11ac configuration. There is zero code that uses this right now. * Whilst here, add some more placeholders in case I need to extend out things by some uint32_t flag sized fields. Hopefully I won't! What I haven't yet done: * any of the code that uses this * any of the beamforming related fields * any of the MU-MIMO fields required for STA/AP operation * any of the IE fields in beacon frame / probe request/response handling and the calculations required for shifting beacon contents around when the TIM grows/shrinks This will require a full rebuild of net80211 related programs - ifconfig, hostapd, wpa_supplicant.

See build(7) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process.

Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
