so that the signal and noise are in dB, not dBm. Since dBm signal
and noise come before the antenna field, the capture fields were
in the wrong order. That made for some astonishing (and wrong)
radiotap captures. dB signal and noise come after the antenna
field, so everything is in the right order, now.
sam@ and various open source repositories:
ath(4):
Ignore "phantom" beacon misses: should stabilize connections
to access points (no more ceaseless link-UP/DOWN indications).
Also, re-synchronize beacon timer using the TSF in the
first beacon received after joining a BSS---this should
also help suppress spurious beacon misses. I am hopeful
that this will help ath(4) lossage reported by perry@ and
smb@.
Add new configuration through sysctl.
Use a shorter calibration interval until IQ calibration
finishes.
Report antenna noise through radiotap.
Rudiments of Radar Detection / Dynamic Frequency Selection.
Update to HAL version 0.9.16.13.
Update open sources for changes to the HAL API.
Add HALs for additional architectures: add big-endian ELF
HALs for sparc64 and for PowerPC. Also add a Alpha HAL.
These new HALs are untested under NetBSD.
ath(4) + net80211:
Make the multicast transmit rate configurable by ioctl.
Miscellaneous bug fixes.

add new statistics

----------------------------
update radiotap support to reflect recent changes:
o move tx taps from ath_start to ath_tx_start so lots more
state is available to tap
o add tx flags
o add tx rate
o add tx power (constant for the moment)
o add tx antenna state
* add constants to enums
* HAL update: stops panics, fixes ad hoc-mode beacons, some API
changes
* get and use mac/phy/rf front-end revision codes
* add a custom ath(4) ic_node_getrssi callback which does RSSI
averaging
* do not immediately scan, but re-associate after missing beacons.
* bug fix: don't if_init after detach.
* HAL diagnostics ioctl, SIOCGATHDIAG
* send DS parameters element in beacons
* const-ify some pointers
* consolidate rx-filter settings into ath_calcrxfilter
* abstract FreeBSD `ticks', NetBSD `hardclock_ticks' with ATH_TICKS()
* misc. other changes
