Changing the size of struct ieee80211_mimo_info changes
the STA info data, breaking ifconfig in general.

This introduces struct ieee80211_rx_stats - which stores the various kinds
of RX statistics which a MIMO and non-MIMO 802.11 device can export.
It also fleshes out the mimo export to userland (node_getmimoinfo()).
It assumes that MIMO radios (for now) export both ctl and ext channels.
Non-11n MIMO radios are possible (and I believe Atheros made at least
one), so if that chipset support is added, extra flags to the
struct ieee80211_rx_stats can be added to extend this support.
Two new input functions have been added - ieee80211_input_mimo() and
ieee80211_input_mimo_all() - which MIMO-aware devices can call with
MIMO specific statistics.
802.11 devices calling the non-MIMO input functions will still function.

adjust the IEEE80211_HTRATE_MAXSIZE constant, only MCS0 - 76 are valid
the other bits in the mcsset IE (77 - 127) are either reserved or used
for TX parameters.

net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft
standard. This standard is expected to become final next year.
This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c
which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation,
routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c
which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network.
HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but
others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented.
Authentication and encryption are not implemented.
There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be
used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you
how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create
wlandev ... wlanmode mesh).
A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled
by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98.
Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl.
More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh
Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that
bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported.
Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to
Sam Leffler for his support.
Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a
Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

and xmit parameters. This makes it possible to use tdma on fractional
channels.
o add IEEE80211_MODE_HALF and IEEE80211_MODE_QUARTER; note these are
band-agnostic (may need revisiting)
o setup all default rates in ic_sup_rates instead of doing it only
for active modes; we need these to calculate the default tx parameters
which are not recalculated after a regulatory update (can't just
recalculate after installing a new channel list because we might
clobber user settings)
o remove special case code in ieee80211_get_suprates; this is now
a candidate for an inline or removal
o add various entries for new modes (roaming+tx params, wme, rate
mapping, scan set setup, country ie construction, tdma, basic rates)
Note these modes are intentionally not visible through if_media.

NB: this causes an ABI change; ifconfig must be recompiled

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.

operating channel and use this in the scan cache rather than directly using
ic_curchan. Some firmware cards can only do a full scan and so ic_curchan does
not have the correct value.
Also add IEEE80211_CHAN2IEEE to directly dereference ic_ieee from the channel
to be used in the fast path.

o major overhaul of the way channels are handled: channels are now
fully enumerated and uniquely identify the operating characteristics;
these changes are visible to user applications which require changes
o make scanning support independent of the state machine to enable
background scanning and roaming
o move scanning support into loadable modules based on the operating
mode to enable different policies and reduce the memory footprint
on systems w/ constrained resources
o add background scanning in station mode (no support for adhoc/ibss
mode yet)
o significantly speedup sta mode scanning with a variety of techniques
o add roaming support when background scanning is supported; for now
we use a simple algorithm to trigger a roam: we threshold the rssi
and tx rate, if either drops too low we try to roam to a new ap
o add tx fragmentation support
o add first cut at 802.11n support: this code works with forthcoming
drivers but is incomplete; it's included now to establish a baseline
for other drivers to be developed and for user applications
o adjust max_linkhdr et. al. to reflect 802.11 requirements; this eliminates
prepending mbufs for traffic generated locally
o add support for Atheros protocol extensions; mainly the fast frames
encapsulation (note this can be used with any card that can tx+rx
large frames correctly)
o add sta support for ap's that beacon both WPA1+2 support
o change all data types from bsd-style to posix-style
o propagate noise floor data from drivers to net80211 and on to user apps
o correct various issues in the sta mode state machine related to handling
authentication and association failures
o enable the addition of sta mode power save support for drivers that need
net80211 support (not in this commit)
o remove old WI compatibility ioctls (wicontrol is officially dead)
o change the data structures returned for get sta info and get scan
results so future additions will not break user apps
o fixed tx rate is now maintained internally as an ieee rate and not an
index into the rate set; this needs to be extended to deal with
multi-mode operation
o add extended channel specifications to radiotap to enable 11n sniffing
Drivers:
o ath: add support for bg scanning, tx fragmentation, fast frames,
dynamic turbo (lightly tested), 11n (sniffing only and needs
new hal)
o awi: compile tested only
o ndis: lightly tested
o ipw: lightly tested
o iwi: add support for bg scanning (well tested but may have some
rough edges)
o ral, ural, rum: add suppoort for bg scanning, calibrate rssi data
o wi: lightly tested
This work is based on contributions by Atheros, kmacy, sephe, thompsa,
mlaier, kevlo, and others. Much of the scanning work was supported by
Atheros. The 11n work was supported by Marvell.

o add channel flag to enable freq <-> ieee channel # mapping (can
go away in the future when ieee number is precomputed)
o add mapping between 900mhz freq's and channel #'s that gives a
unique channel # for each half/quarter/full width channel
o remove assumptions that half/quarter rate channels on happen in 11a
o remove assumptions that all 11g channels are full width
o ensure ic_curchan is reset on mode change so changing the channel
list (e.g. on countrycode change) doesn't leave curchan set to an
invalid channel
There is still an issue with switching rate sets; to be fixed separately.

in the Public Safety Band):
o add channel flags to identify half/quarter-rate operation
o add rate sets (need to check spec on 4Mb/s in 1/4 rate)
o add if_media definitions for new rates
o split net80211 channel setup out into ieee80211_chan_init
o fixup ieee80211_mhz2ieee and ieee80211_ieee2mhz to understand half/quarter
rate channels: note we temporarily use a nonstandard/hack numbering that
avoids overlap with 2.4G channels because we don't (yet) have enough
state to identify and/or map overlapping channel sets
o fixup ieee80211_ifmedia_init so it can be called post attach and will
recalculate the channel list and associated state; this enables changing
channel-related state like the regulatory domain after attach (will be
needed for 802.11d support too)
o add ieee80211_get_suprates to return a reference to the supported rate
set for a given channel
o add 3, 4.5, and 27 MB/s tx rates to rate <-> media conversion routines
o const-poison channel arg to ieee80211_chan2mode
