update for recent mesh additions

Approved by: re (kib)


# 195618 11-Jul-2009 rpaulo

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.

# 188210 05-Feb-2009 sam

for adhoc and ahdemo modes try to find the "bss node": use the bssid
unless it's not setup or zero's; this may not work as the bssid of
the ibss isn't certain to the "right mac address" but for many cases
it is


# 188187 05-Feb-2009 sam

o fix identification of ahdemo mode
o split out code to get the bssid for use in the future
o include more information in error diags when unable to collect sta info/stats


# 178699 30-Apr-2008 sam

o add indirect array for field indices as the # stats is > 127 and doesn't
fit in a signed char
o change default output to something more useful for sta mode
o futz w/ various field names and widths; need to do full pass over this stuff


# 178359 20-Apr-2008 sam

update for vaps

Supported by: Hobnob


# 174244 04-Dec-2007 sam

update copyright's


# 173306 03-Nov-2007 sam

o sync w/ net80211 changes
o redo numbering scheme to simplify changing the table


# 170535 11-Jun-2007 sam

add 11n stats


# 161200 10-Aug-2006 sam

checkpoint new version


# 153392 13-Dec-2005 sam

fix include path


# 153317 11-Dec-2005 sam

o move programs to separate directories and use stock Makefiles;
this simplifies including them in crunchgen images
o rename 80211* programs to wlan* as was originally intended
