While determining the maxrate for ieee80211_media_setup() honor
the device capabilities.

First step on removing the harcoded RX/TX stream and MCS0-15 assumptions.

Initialize ic_rxstream/ic_txstream with 2, for compatibility reasons.
Introduce 4 new HTC flags, which are used in addition to ic_rxstream
and ic_txstream to compute the hc_mcsset content and also for initializing
ni_htrates. The number of spatial streams is enough to determine support
for MCS0-31 but not for MCS32-76 as well as some TX parameters in the
hc_mcsset field.

Complete the MCS rate table based on the final 802.11n std. While here
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.

Instead of using the AMRR ratectl algo as default for drivers which have
the IEEE80211_C_RATECTL flag set, default to NONE for all drivers. Only if
a driver calls ieee80211_ratectl_init() check if the NONE algo is still
selected and try to use AMRR in that case. Drivers are still free to use
any other algo by calling ieee80211_ratectl_set() prior to the
ieee80211_ratectl_init() call.

After this change it is now safe to assume that a ratectl algo is always
available and selected, which renders the IEEE80211_C_RATECTL flag pretty
much useless. Therefore revert r211314 and 211546.

net80211 rate control framework (net80211 ratectl).

This framework allows drivers to abstract the rate control algorithm and
just feed the framework with the usable parameters. The rate control
framework will now deal with passing the parameters to the selected
algorithm. Right now we have AMRR (the default) and RSSADAPT but there's
no way to select one with ifconfig, yet.
The objective is to have more rate control algorithms in the net80211
stack so all drivers[0] can use it. Ideally, we'll have the well-known
sample rate control algorithm in the net80211 at some point so all
drivers can use it (not just ath).

Implementation of the upcoming Wireless Mesh standard, 802.11s, on the
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.

Add ieee80211_ageq; a facility for staging packets that require
long-term work before they can be serviced. Packets are tagged and
assigned an age (in seconds) at the point they are added to the

reclaimed. Tagging can take two forms: a reference to an ieee80211_node

Because of a lack of deep copying support, we accept a race in which
an in6_ifaddr pointed to by mbuf tags and extracted with
ip6_getdstifaddr() doesn't hold a reference while in transmit. Once
we have mbuf tag deep copy support, this can be fixed.

Create a taskqueue for each wireless interface which provides a serialised
sleepable context for net80211 driver callbacks. This removes the need for USB
and firmware based drivers to roll their own code to defer the chip programming
for state changes, scan requests, channel changes and mcast/promisc updates.
When a driver callback completes the hardware state is now guaranteed to have
been updated and is in sync with net80211 layer.

This nukes around 1300 lines of code from the wireless device drivers making
them more readable and less race prone.

The net80211 layer has been updated as follows
- all state/channel changes are serialised on the taskqueue.
- ieee80211_new_state() always queues and can now be called from any context
- scanning runs from a single taskq function and executes to completion. driver
callbacks are synchronous so the channel, phy mode and rx filters are
guaranteed to be set in hardware before probe request frames are
transmitted.

Link state change notification of ethernet media to the routing socket.

o The ieee80211_media_status() function updates the ifi_link_state field
and calls rt_ifmsg() to notify listeners on the routing socket.

diff reduction against madwifi/p4

Add explicit dependency on "ether", since we use ether_ifattach().

Add support for FH phy, which will be used by awi driver.
Also some if_media constants to indicate operational mode are changed
to bitmasks to reduce diffs from NetBSD.

short preamble capability is not just for 11g; mark IEEE80211_F_SHPREAMBLE
regardless of the operating mode

Obtained from: MADWIFI

Delay creating ic_bss until after the super-class has a chance
to override the method pointers for manipulating nodes; this fixes
a problem where the ic_bss node was not being created properly
for the ath driver causing the driver to scribble on random memory.

add monitor mode

o change ieee80211_new_state handling to use a proper method that drivers
override in their sub-class; this eliminates the hack of interpreting the
EINPROGRESS return value to mean "don't do any of the normal work"
o correct active scanning so the first channel is only scanned once and so
per-channel passive mode is properly honored
o expose 802.11 FSM state names so every driver doesn't keep a private copy
o eliminate node parameter to ieee80211_begin_scan; it was not being used

add safeguard against (bogus) null channel parameter

new 802.11 layer:

o code reorg (relative to old netbsd-derived code) for future growth
o drivers now specify available channels and rates and 802.11 layer handles
almost all ifmedia actions
o multi-mode support for 11a/b/g devices
o 11g protocol additions (incomplete)
o new element id additions (for other than 11g)
o node/station table redone for proper locking and to eliminate driver
incestuousness
o split device flags and capabilities to reduce confusion and provide room
for expansion
o incomplete power management infrastructure (need to revisit)
o incomplete hooks for software retry
o more...
