adapter (and some workalikes). Also add man pages and a wicontrol
utility to manipulate some of the card parameters.
This driver was written using information gleaned from the Lucent HCF Light
library, though it does not use any of the HCF Light code itself, mainly
because it's contaminated by the GPL (but also because it's pretty gross).
The HCF Light lacks certain featurs from the full (but proprietary) HCF
library, including 802.11 frame encapsulation support, however it has
just enough register information about the Hermes chip to allow someone
with enough spare time and energy to implement a proper driver. (I would
have prefered getting my hands on the Hermes manual, but that's proprietary
too. For those who are wondering, the Linux driver uses the proprietary
HCF library, but it's provided in object code form only.)
Note that I do not have access to a WavePOINT access point, so I have
only been able to test ad-hoc mode. The wicontrol utility can turn on
BSS mode, but I don't know for certain that the NIC will associate with
an access point correctly. Testers are encouraged to send their results
to me so that I can find out if I screwed up or not.
automagically find all the partitions. This is to be preferred to the
somewhat emetic usage of vinum_slices and the equally obnoxious 'vinum
read' command.
log_in_vain:
log_in_vain turns on logging for packets to ports for which
there is no listener.
rc.sysctl:
A generic way to set sysctl values. It reads /etc/syslog.conf
and sets values based on that. No /etc/syslog.conf has been
checked in yet, and I've not added this to the makefile yet
until I get more feedback.

By assuming that a system was neat and without violation before it booted
we can skip a long (and at that point needless) process.
