saving bit is set in incoming frames from a station, and buffers the
outgoing frames for the station until they are polled for. This
requires support in the driver to set a bit in the TIM bitmap sent
during 802.11 beacons.
So far, support for power saving in Host AP mode is only available
for the PRISM2 chipset.

This patch does NOT add monitor mode support for the Lucent radios.
awi(4) was only modified for compatibility with the new mediaopt.
It does NOT support monitor mode.
Tested by Kevin, Daniel Carosone, and I.
Change the name for the size of driver private structure:
ic_bss_privlen -> ic_node_privlen
Add a hook to free node for the driver private structure, though there are
no consumer of the structure in the tree for now.
correctly. To avoid massive extra code in each driver, now if_iee80211subr.c
also handles non-standard old lucent adhoc-demo mode.
This also fixes PR 14227.
Change the name of structure ieee80211_bss to ieee80211_node, which is
used for management of stations in hostap mode, and peers in ibss mode.
Split off ic_opmode, ic_phytype from ic_flags.
Preparation to merge 'wi' driver into 80211subr.c.
- aging ang clear inactivity stations
- DTIM field in beacon/probe response.
- ignore IFF_PROMISC for hostap mode, since 802.11 has 3 address fields,
so that promisc mode is not required for AP function.
The type of ALIGN() is vary on architecture and casting pointer to u_int
is incorrect for MI code.
Since the code is to make sure aligned access to IP header and requires
bcopy if the test fails. So the performance implication is not necessary
and we can use ALIGNED_POINTER() here.

XXX: FH chanset should be calculated by FH hop pattern, but BayStack 650 AP
always specify chanset to fixed value 1. The previous code try to this
hack into awi driver, but it is insufficient because the chanset value
in awi driver may change while scan and it may be different from the
value in receiving beacon/probe-response. So we save encoded FH chanset
into channel in 802.11 common bss information for now.
if_ieee80211subr.c, which can be shared between any IEEE 802.11
drivers.
However, most of current working IEEE 802.11b wireless LAN cards
have rich firmware and we cannot have a control to management frames
for such cards.
IBSS creation is now supported for the awi driver.
