# 267654 19-Jun-2014 gjb

Copy stable/9 to releng/9.3 as part of the 9.3-RELEASE cycle.

Approved by: re (implicit)
Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation

# 225736 22-Sep-2011 kensmith

Copy head to stable/9 as part of 9.0-RELEASE release cycle.

# 186302 18-Dec-2008 sam

convert MALLOC/FREE to malloc/free


# 184210 23-Oct-2008 des

Revert the removal of the MALLOC and FREE macros from the net80211 code.

Requested by: sam


# 184205 23-Oct-2008 des

Retire the MALLOC and FREE macros. They are an abomination unto style(9).

MFC after: 3 months


# 179394 28-May-2008 sam

Split s/w crypt/mic attributes to allow future hackery; this change
should be a noop.


# 178354 20-Apr-2008 sam

Multi-bss (aka vap) support for 802.11 devices.

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.

Supported by: Hobnob and Marvell
Reviewed by: many
Obtained from: Atheros (some bits)


# 170530 11-Jun-2007 sam

Update 802.11 wireless support:
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 switch back to a 2-clause bsd-only license

disallow module unload when there are dynamic references

MFC after: 1 week


# 147252 10-Jun-2005 sam

o fix wpa w/ wme: don't strip the QoS header on recv as tkip requires
it; instead pass the space occupied by the header down into the
crypto modules (except in the demic case which needs it only when
doing int in s/w)
o while here fix defrag to strip the header from 2nd and later frames
o teach decap code how to handle 4-address frames


# 147045 06-Jun-2005 sam

add force flag to enmic/demic crypto api for use in xmit fragmentation
and h/w mic verification

correct header length calculations on tx path for QoS-encapsulated frames
when IEEE80211_F_DATAPAD is set (e.g. ath); must use ieee80211_hdrspace
instead of ieee80211_hdrsize

# 138568 08-Dec-2004 sam

Update 802.11 support; too much new functionality to fully describe
here but it includes completed 802.11g, WPA, 802.11i, 802.1x, WME/WMM,
AP-side power-save, crypto plugin framework, authenticator plugin framework,
and access control plugin frameowrk.
