Miscellaneous ath(4) and net80211 updates and bug-fixes coming from
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.
 1.15  29-Dec-2005  dyoung branches: 1.15.4; 1.15.6;
In atw(4), use ieee80211_compute_duration() to compute IEEE 802.11
Duration and PLCP Length fields, and delete the abominable
atw_frame_setdurs() subroutine.

Make rtw(4) use the new ieee80211_compute_duration() calling
convention.

Add an ieee80211_key argument to ieee80211_compute_duration() and
lightly constify arguments. Get the crypto header length from the
key argument instead of blithely assuming a WEP header. Add some
inline documentation. Account for data padding (IEEE80211_F_DATAPAD).
 1.14  10-Dec-2005  elad Multiple inclusion protection, as suggested by christos@ on tech-kern@
few days ago.
 1.13  18-Nov-2005  skrll Resolve conflicts and adapt to NetBSD.

Thanks to dyoung@, scw@, and perry@ for help testing.

Clarify/fix handling of the current channel:
o add ic_curchan and use it uniformly for specifying the current
channel instead of overloading ic->ic_bss->ni_chan (or in some
drivers ic_ibss_chan)
o add ieee80211_scanparams structure to encapsulate scanning-related
state captured for rx frames
o move rx beacon+probe response frame handling into separate routines
o change beacon+probe response handling to treat the scan table
more like a scan cache--look for an existing entry before adding
a new one; this combined with ic_curchan use corrects handling of
stations that were previously found at a different channel
o move adhoc neighbor discovery by beacon+probe response frames to
a new ieee80211_add_neighbor routine

Propagate rename of IFF_OACTIVE and IFF_RUNNING to IFF_DRV_OACTIVE and
IFF_DRV_RUNNING, as well as the move from ifnet.if_flags to
ifnet.if_drv_flags. Device drivers are now responsible for
synchronizing access to these flags, as they are in if_drv_flags. This
helps prevent races between the network stack and device driver in
maintaining the interface flags field.

Many __FreeBSD__ and __FreeBSD_version checks maintained and continued;
some less so.

Split crypto tx+rx key indices and add a key index -> node mapping table:

Crypto changes:
o change driver/net80211 key_alloc api to return tx+rx key indices; a
driver can leave the rx key index set to IEEE80211_KEYIX_NONE or set
it to be the same as the tx key index (the former disables use of
the key index in building the keyix->node mapping table and is the
default setup for naive drivers by null_key_alloc)
o add cs_max_keyid to crypto state to specify the max h/w key index a
driver will return; this is used to allocate the key index mapping
table and to bounds check table loookups
o while here introduce ieee80211_keyix (finally) for the type of a h/w
key index
o change crypto notifiers for rx failures to pass the rx key index up
as appropriate (michael failure, replay, etc.)

Node table changes:
o optionally allocate a h/w key index to node mapping table for the
station table using the max key index setting supplied by drivers
(note the scan table does not get a map)
o defer node table allocation to lateattach so the driver has a chance
to set the max key id to size the key index map
o while here also defer the aid bitmap allocation
o add new ieee80211_find_rxnode_withkey api to find a sta/node entry
on frame receive with an optional h/w key index to use in checking
mapping table; also updates the map if it does a hash lookup and the
found node has a rx key index set in the unicast key; note this work
is separated from the old ieee80211_find_rxnode call so drivers do
not need to be aware of the new mechanism
o move some node table manipulation under the node table lock to close
a race on node delete
o add ieee80211_node_delucastkey to do the dirty work of deleting
unicast key state for a node (deletes any key and handles key map
references)

Ath driver:
o nuke private sc_keyixmap mechansim in favor of net80211 support
o update key alloc api

These changes close several race conditions for the ath driver operating
in ap mode. Other drivers should see no change. Station mode operation
for ath no longer uses the key index map but performance tests show no
noticeable change and this will be fixed when the scan table is eliminated
with the new scanning support.

Cleanup beacon/listen interval handling:
o separate configured beacon interval from listen interval; this
avoids potential use of one value for the other (e.g. setting
powersavesleep to 0 clobbers the beacon interval used in hostap
or ibss mode)
o bounds check the beacon interval received in probe response and
beacon frames and drop frames with bogus settings; not clear
if we should instead clamp the value as any alteration would
result in mismatched sta+ap configuration and probably be more
confusing (don't want to log to the console but perhaps ok with
rate limiting)
o while here up max beacon interval to reflect WiFi standard

Fix handling of frames sent prior to a station being authorized
when operating in ap mode. Previously we allocated a node from the
station table, sent the frame (using the node), then released the
reference that "held the frame in the table". But while the frame
was in flight the node might be reclaimed which could lead to
problems. The solution is to add an ieee80211_tmp_node routine
that crafts a node that does exist in a table and so isn't ever
reclaimed; it exists only so long as the associated frame is in flight.

rtw: Try to get hardware WEP to work. It seems to work in
the RX direction, but not in the TX direction. The
net80211 crypto framework doesn't seem to cope very well
with the assymetry (I'm probably missing something), so
I will use software WEP for now.

net80211: In ieee80211_compute_duration, figure out whether to add
the WEP header to the packet overhead by checking the
WEP bit in the Frame Control field of the 802.11 header,
instead of checking the IEEE80211_F_PRIVACY flag.

Also, if the WEP bit is present, assume that the frame
described by (wh, len) has already already been WEP
encapsulated, and adjust the payload length accordingly.
XXX that's a grotty hack that I will have to revisit,
later.

IBSS-merge clean-up, inspired by some Linux patches from Jon Anderson
(mail@janderson.ca): remove ieee80211_ibss_merge's TSFT argument.
Do the TSFT comparison in the drivers (ath, atw). Remove a lot of
extraneous debug statements from ieee80211_ibss_merge.

Set the ieee80211_node's state to IEEE80211_STA_BSS after it's been
copied to the ic_bss, not before.

In struct ieee80211_node, make the ni_tstamp field a union of a
uint64_t and the 8 TSF octets so that it's easier to compare a
neighbor's TSF with the local TSF.

Log IBSS merges (Greg Troxel's suggestion). Also log IBSS creation.
These are rare and important events that deserve to be logged.
 1.7  23-Dec-2004  dyoung Fix a bug in ieee80211_compute_duration: the 802.11 Duration field
in an 802.11 unicast data packet is equal to the duration of the
SIFS and Acknowledgement. That is, the amount of time reserved
*after* the packet has finished transmitting.

Change the arguments to ieee80211_compute_duration: pass the entire
packet length, not just the payload length. Add a 'debug' argument
to ieee80211_compute_duration and its helper subroutine,
ieee80211_compute_duration1.

If debug != 0, ieee80211_compute_duration printfs its arguments
and several local variables.

ieee80211_compute_duration.

any packet the appropriate 802.11 Duration field, the PLCP Length
field, as well as the Duration and Length fields for an RTS frame.
