peer, we have to copy the "master" rate table to the faked-up node's
rate table, or else ath0 will complain, "ath0: bogus xmit rate
0x0". Thank you Konstantin KABASSANOV for reporting this problem.
net.link.ieee80211. The convention is that nodes directly under
net are protocol families (PF_*).
Also, simplify the sysctl setup for net80211 and rssadapt, following
another suggestion by Andrew.
and off.
Add a sysctl, net.ieee80211.maxinact, for adjusting the node time-out
interval. After net.ieee80211.maxinact seconds of inactivity, an
AP will purge a peer/client-record. Now the client has to reassociate.
* Add Kevin Lahey's power-saving support from the old 802.11 layer
* Support for frequency-hopping PHYs
* Add support frequency-hopping PHY mode, IFM_IEEE80211_FH
* Add channel flags for frequency-hopping
* Add mode<->media mappings in for FH PHY in ieee80211_media2rate
and ieee80211_rate2media
* Stop using IFM_MAKEMODE macro since the mode constants
(e.g., IFM_IEEE80211_11A) are pre-shifted in sys/net/if_media.h
* Add some PLCP constants.
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
