Abstract some of the node management code into separate functions, and use them
throughout, plugging memory leaks.
Allocate the AID allocation map dynamically.
802.11 drivers will use ieee80211_find_rxnode to match each received
packet with the ieee80211_node belonging to the sender. The driver
will use the ieee80211_node to track the sender's RSSI and other
statistics for, e.g., rate adaptation.
ieee80211_find_rxnode "fakes-up" missing ieee80211_nodes in IBSS
mode and in ad-hoc demo mode when it is appropriate. See the comments
in the source.
Also add ieee80211_find_txnode, which looks up the ieee80211_node
belonging to a MAC destination. ieee80211_find_txnode will also
fake-up missing nodes in IBSS/ad-hoc demo mode.
In ieee80211_encap, use ieee80211_find_txnode. This fixes the bug
in ad hoc packet-transmission reported by Greg Troxel, Urban Boquist,
and Kurt Schreiner.
* Add Kevin Lahey's power-saving support from the old 802.11 layer
* Add my stop-gap rate-selection routine, ieee80211_get_rate,
from the old 802.11 layer
* Also from the old 802.11 layer: factor ieee80211_match_bss out
of ieee80211_end_scan, since atw(4) uses it for IBSS merges.
striving to keep the diffs short and simple.
* Replace FreeBSDisms (e.g. struct arpcom) with conditionally-compiled
NetBSDism (struct ethercom).
* Add compatibility shims in ieee80211_compat.*: provide NetBSD with
if_printf, for example.
* Convert FreeBSD node mutex uses to generic node critical-section
protection (ieee80211_node_critsect_begin, _end), replace
FreeBSD atomic arithmetic with generic alternative, and implement
generics in NetBSD
* Provide NetBSD-style 802.11 ioctls
* Style nits
