Use ifconfig(8)'s "join" command by default

Its adoption went quite well, so install "join" rather than the old "nwid"
in new hostname.if(5) files and follow this trend in our wifi manuals.

OK deraadt sthen

Teach modern "inet autoconf"

This goes in line with hostname.if(5), unwind.conf(5), ifconfig(8)
as well as our installer.

OK deraadt

move the HARDWARE sections in line with other wireless pages;

move example configurations to include nwid and nwkey on the same line

fix obvious .An formatting errors
found while working on mandoc apropos

rework EXAMPLES somewhat, and remove the obsolete NONE NONE NONE dhcp
stuff; ok krw

the `W' in WEP apparently stands for wired, not wireless;
from Scott Radvan

tweak the wep section somewhat, to bring it into line with what
we say for those devices which support wpa;

remove the CONFIGURATION section from the wireless pages:
the addition of the wpa options have shown just how unwieldy it had
become, it's already in ifconfig(8) anyway, and "ifconfig -m" will
get the relevant ones.

ok dlg jsg

remove unneeded part from SYNOPSIS; from brad

convert to new .Dd format;

Mention -nwid here too, reminded by reyk.

Having to edit all these files makes me realise how many wireless
drivers we actually have.

it is not possible to specify `media' and `-mediaopt' to ifconfig at

return nic to default state;

wireless makeover:

- standardise 802.11 pages
- document modes supported by the card
- document wep
- document relevant ifconfig(8) options
- standard EXAMPLES section
- standard SEE ALSO section
- standard HARDWARE section

includes feedback/diffs from reyk@, jsg@, and damien@;
joint work from dlg@ and myself;

we now do wep

ok jmc@

add OQO 01

spelling fixes

simpler macros;

document wep;
tweaks/ok dlg@

big changes.

- capitalise the chipset names since thats what the manufacturer uses.
- lowercase b in 802.11b because thats what ieee uses.
- dont lie about supporting hostap and adhoc demo modes.
- better descriptions of what the hardware can do, especially the operating
modes.
- replace the ifconfig examples with real documentation what options are
used to configure operation of the interface
- list caveats

lots and lots of help from and ok jmc@

add a couple of devices i own

errors. ok dlg@
