Rename definition of IEEE80211_FC1_WEP to IEEE80211_FC1_PROTECTED.
The origin of WEP comes from IEEE Std 802.11-1997 where it defines
whether the frame body of MAC frame has been encrypted using WEP
algorithm or not.
IEEE Std. 802.11-2007 changes WEP to Protected Frame, indicates
whether the frame is protected by a cryptographic encapsulation
algorithm.

It wasn't currently being called anyway - but being explicit about it
can't hurt.

* Add HTINFO field decoding to ieee80211_ies_expand() - it's likely not
100% correct as it's not looking at the draft 11n HTINFO location,
but I don't think anyone will care.
* When doing an IBSS join make sure the 11n channel configuration
is used - otherwise the 11a/11bg channel will be used
and there won't be any chance for an upgrade to 11n.
* When creating an IBSS network, ensure the channel is updated to an
11n channel so other 11n nodes can see it and speak to it with MCS
rates.
* Add a bit of code that's disabled for now which handles the HT
field updating. This won't work out very well with lots of adhoc
nodes as we'd end up ping-ponging between the HT configuration for
each node. Instead, we should likely only pay attention to the
"master" node we initially associated against and then ensure we
propagate that information forward in our subsequent beacons. However,
due to the nature of IBSS (ie, there's no specific "master" node in
the specification) it's unclear which node we should lift the HT
parameters from.
So for now this assumes the HT parameters are squirreled away in the
initial beacon/probe response.
So there's some trickiness here.
With ap/sta pairing, the probe response just populates a legacy node
and the association request/response is what is used for negotiation
11n-ness (and upgrading things as needed.)
With ibss networks, the pairing is done with probe request/response,
with discovery being done by creating nodes when new beacons in the
IBSS / BSSID are heard. There's no assoc request/response frames going on.
So the trick here has been to figure out where to upgrade things.
I don't like how I just taught ieee80211_sta_join() to "speak" HT -
I'd rather there be an upgrade path when an IBSS node joins and there
are HT parameters present. Once I've done that, I'll kill this
HT special casing that's going on in ieee80211_sta_join().
Tested:
* AR9280, AR5416, AR5212 - basic iperf and ping interoperability tests
whilst in a non-encrypted adhoc network.
TODO:
* Fix up the HT upgrade path for IBSS nodes rather than adding code
in ieee80211_sta_join(), then remove my code from there.
* When associating, there's a concept of a "master" node in the IBSS
which is the node you first joined the network through. It's possible
the correct thing to do is to listen to HT updates and configure WME
parameters from that node. However, once that node goes away, which
node(s) should be listened to for configuration changes?
For things like HT channel width, it's likely going to be ok to
just associate as HT40 and then use the per-neighbor rate control
and HTINFO/HTCAP fields to figure out which rates and configuration
to speak. Ie, for a 20MHz 11n node, just speak 20MHz rates to
it. It shouldn't "change", like what goes on in AP/STA configurations.

is totally wrong.
If we parse the WME IE here, we'll be constantly updating the WME
configuration from each WME enabled IBSS node we see.
There's a separate issue where the WME configuration is blanked out
when the interface is brought up; the WME parameters aren't "sticky."
Also, ieee80211_init_neighbor() parses the ath IE, so doing it here
isn't required.
Sorry about the noise.

The Adhoc support wasn't parsing and handling the ath specific and WME
IEs, thus the atheros vendor support and WME TXOP parameters aren't being
copied from the peer.
It copies the WME parameters from whichever adhoc node it decides to
associate to, rather than just having them be statically configured
per adhoc node. This may or may not be exactly "right", but it's certainly
going to be more convienent for people - they just have to ensure their
adhoc nodes are setup with correct WME parameters.
Since WME parameters aren't per-node but are configured on hardware TX
queues, if some nodes support WME and some don't - or perhaps, have
different WME parameters - things will get quite quirky.
So ensure that you configure your adhoc nodes with the same WME
parameters.
Secondly - the Atheros Vendor IE is parsed and operated on per-node, so
this should work out ok between nodes that do and don't do Atheros
extensions. Once you see a becaon from that node and you setup the
association state, it _should_ parse things correctly.
TODO:
* I do need to ensure that both adhoc setup paths are correctly updating
the IE stuff. Ie, if the adhoc node is created by a data frame instead
of a beacon frame, it'll come up with no WME/ath IE config. The next
beacon frame that it receives from that node will update the state.
I just need to sit down and better understand how that's suppose to
work in IBSS mode.
Tested:
* AR5416 <-> AR9280 - fast frames and the WME configuration both popped
up. (This is with a local HAL patch that enables the fast frames
capability on the AR5416 chipsets.)

This turns ieee80211_node_pwrsave(), ieee80211_sta_pwrsave() and
ieee80211_recv_pspoll() into methods.
The intent is to let drivers override these and tie into the power save
management pathway.
For ath(4), this is the beginning of forcing a node software queue to
stop and start as needed, as well as supporting "leaking" single frames
from the software queue to the hardware.
Right now, ieee80211_recv_pspoll() will attempt to transmit a single frame
to the hardware (whether it be a data frame on the power-save queue or
a NULL data frame) but the driver may have hardware/software queued frames
queued up. This initial work is an attempt at providing the hooks required
to implement correct behaviour.
Allowing ieee80211_node_pwrsave() to be overridden allows the ath(4)
driver to pause and unpause the entire software queue for a given node.
It doesn't make sense to transmit anything whilst the node is asleep.
Please note that there are other corner cases to correctly handle -
specifically, setting the MORE data bit correctly on frames to a station,
as well as keeping the TIM updated. Those particular issues can be
addressed later.

handling.
The current sequence number code does a few things incorrectly:
* It didn't try eliminating duplications from HT nodes. I guess it's assumed
that out of order / retransmission handling would be handled by the AMPDU RX
routines. If a HT node isn't doing AMPDU RX, then retransmissions need to
be eliminated. Since most of my debugging is based on this (as AMPDU TX
software packet aggregation isn't yet handled), handle this corner case.
* When a sequence number of 4095 was received, any subsequent sequence number
is going to be (by definition) less than 4095. So if the following sequence
number (0) doesn't initially occur and the retransmit is received, it's
incorrectly eliminated by the IEEE80211_FC1_RETRY && SEQ_LEQ() check.
Try to handle this better.
This almost completely eliminates out of order TCP statistics showing up during
iperf testing for the 11a, 11g and non-aggregate 11n AMPDU RX case. The only
other packet loss conditions leading to this are due to baseband resets or
heavy interference.

against the local configuration in the vap. Previously we were
only checking the ap capabilities which meant that if an ap reported
it was ff-capable but we were not setup to use them we'd try to do
ff aggregation and drop the frame.
There are a number of problems to be fixed here but applying this
fix immediately as the problem causes all traffic to stop (and has
not workaround).

For receive:
o explicitly tag rx frames w/ M_AMPDU instead of passing frames through
the reorder processing according to the node having HT and the frame
being QoS data
o relax ieee80211_ampdu_reorder asserts to allow any frame to be passed
in, unsuitable frames are returned to the caller for normal processing;
this permits drivers that cannot inspect the PLCP to mark all data
frames as potential ampdu candidates with only a small penalty
o add M_AMPDU_MPDU to identify frames resubmitted from the reorder q
For transmit:
o tag aggregation candidates with M_AMPDU_MPDU
o fix the QoS ack policy set in ampdu subframes; we only support immediate
BA streams which should be marked for "normal ack" to get implicit block
ack behaviour; interestingly certain vendor parts BA'd frames with the
11e BA ack policy set
o do not assign a sequence # to aggregation candidates; this must be done
when frames are submitted for transmit (NB: this can/will be handled
better when aggregation is pulled up to net80211)
