freebsd11_network -> freebsd_network.

FreeBSD 12 has no major changes to the ifnet KPIs that constitute a
source compatibility break, save a single one related to locking
which doesn't really apply to us, and so we don't need to create
a "freebsd12_network" directory to work through the upgrades.


# 865639de 19-Jan-2010 Colin Günther <coling@gmx.de>

* Changing the naming scheme for firmwares. Instead of directly renaming
the respective firmware files renaming is now done within the firmware loader.
The mapping of original firmware names to FreeBSD internal firmware names is
now done within driver specific settings files. Those are committed in a next
step.
This approach allows a clean separation of FreeBSD compat layer requirements
and native driver requirements.
For example: we have two Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 drivers. Do we prefer the
naming scheme of the native driver or do we force the native driver to use
the one of the FreeBSD driver? With this commit we prefer native over FreeBSD.
* Changed the firmware loader to make use of Haiku's file mapping facility.
* Implementing firmware unloading.
* Some minor cleanups in two compat layer header files, which are using Haiku
defined identifiers, where apropriate.

* reordering of headerfile inclusion to comply to FreeBSD 8
ordering.
this makes porting driver (especially wifi ones) more
convinient
* based on FreeBSD svn revision 196691
