In r178354 with the introduction of multi-bss ("vap") support factoring
out started and with r193340 ieee80211_media_change() no longer returned
ENETRESET but only 0 or error.
As ieee80211(9) tells the ieee80211_media_change() function should not
be called directly but is registered with ieee80211_vap_attach() instead.
Some drivers have not been fully converted. After fixing the return
checking some of these functions were simply wrappers between
ieee80211_vap_attach() and ieee80211_media_change(), so remove the extra
function, where possible as well.

This flips on basic 11n for 2GHz/5GHz station operation.
* It flips on HT20 and MCS rates;
* It enables A-MPDU decap - the payload format is a bit different;
* It does do some basic checks for HT40 but I haven't yet flipped on
HT40 support;
* It enables software A-MSDU transmit; I honestly don't want to make
A-MPDU TX work and there are apparently issues with QoS and A-MPDU TX.
So I totally am ignoring A-MPDU TX;
* MCS rate transmit is fine.
I haven't:
* A-MPDU TX, as I said above;
* made radiotap work fully;
* HT40;
* short-GI support;
* lots of other stuff that honestly no-one is likely to use.
But! Hey, this is another ye olde 11n USB NIC that now works pretty OK
in 11n rates. A-MPDU receive seems fine enough given it's a draft-n
device from before 2010.

r357614 added CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT to make it easier to find nodes that are

Use it in preparation for a general review of all nodes.
This is non-functional change that adds annotations to SYSCTL_NODE and
SYSCTL_PROC nodes using one of the soon-to-be-required flags.

- Alignment issues:
* Add missing __packed attributes + padding across all drivers; in
most places there was an assumption that padding will be always
minimally suitable; in few places - e.g., in urtw(4) / rtwn(4) -
padding was just missing.
* Add __aligned(8) attribute for all Rx radiotap headers since they can
contain 64-bit TSF timestamp; it cannot appear in Tx radiotap headers, so
just drop the attribute here. Refresh ieee80211_radiotap(9) man page
accordingly.
- Since net80211 automatically updates channel frequency / flags in
ieee80211_radiotap_chan_change() drop duplicate setup for these fields
in drivers.

These parameters may be changed via ifconfig(8); by default,
mgt / mcast rates are lowest possible and ucast rate is not set
(matches previous configuration).
While here, store some variables locally for better readability.
This removes the direct WME info access in the ieee80211com struct and instead
provides a method of fetching the data. Right now it's a no-op but eventually
it'll turn into a per-VAP method for drivers that support it (eg iwn, iwm,
upcoming ath10k work) as things like p2p support require this kind of behaviour.
Tested:
* ath(4), STA and AP mode
TODO:
* yes, this is slightly stack size-y, but it is an important first step
to get drivers migrated over to a sensible WME API. A lot of per-phy things
need to be converted to per-VAP before P2P, 11ac firmware, etc stuff shows up.

- Use ni_txparms directly instead of calculating them manually every time
- Move M_EAPOL flag check upper; otherwise it may be skipped due to

urtw(4))

There are a variety of more interesting RX statistics that we should
keep track of but we don't. This is a starting point for adding more
information.
Specifically:
* now the RX rate information and some of the packet status is
passed up;
* The 32 bit or 64 bit TSF is passed up;
* the PHY mode is passed up;
* the "I'm decap'ed AMSDU!" state is passed up;
* number of RX chains is bumped to 4.
This is all mostly a placeholder for getting the data into the RX status
before we pass it up to net80211 - unfortunately we don't yet enforce
that drivers provide it, nor do we pass the provided info back up the
stack so anyone can use the data.
We're going to need to use some of this data moving forward.
Notably, now that some hardware can do AMSDU decap for us (the intel iwm
driver can do it when we flip it on; the ath10k port I'm doing does
it for us) then we need to pass it up through the stack so the duplicate
RX sequence numbers and crypto/IV details don't cause the packet to
be dropped and/or counted against a replay counter.
It's also the beginning of being able to do more interesting node
accounting in net80211. Specifically, once drivers start populating
per-packet rate information, AMPDU information, timestamps, etc,
we can start providing histograms of rate-versus-RSSI, account
for receive time spent per node and other such interesting things.
(Note: I'm also hoping to include ranging and RTT information for
future chipset support; and it's likely going to include it in
this kind of fashion.)
Replace various void * / int argument combinations with common structures:
- ieee80211_ratectl_tx_status for *_tx_complete();
- ieee80211_ratectl_tx_stats for *_tx_update();
While here, improve amrr_tx_update() for a bit:
1. In case, if receiver is not known (typical for Ralink USB drivers),
refresh Tx rate for all nodes on the interface.
2. There was a misuse:
- otus(4) sends non-decreasing counters (as originally intended);
- but ural(4), rum(4) and run(4) are using 'read & clear' registers
to obtain statistics for some period of time (and those 'last period'
values are used as arguments for tx_update()). If arguments are not big
enough, they are just discarded after the next call.
Fix: move counting into *_tx_update()
(now otus(4) will zero out all node counters after every tx_update() call)
Tested with:
- Intel 3945BG (wpi(4)), STA mode.
- WUSB54GC (rum(4)), STA / HOSTAP mode.
- RTL8188EU (urtwn(4)), STA mode.

it's always init'ed now.
* add debugging and a missing return around a failure to call m_get2() -
during monitor mode operation I found RXing of frames > 2k, which
fails allocation. I'm sure they're valid (it's configuring 11n RX and
receiving 11n frames even though the driver doesn't "do" 11n)
and may be A-MSDU; but allocations fail and we should handle that
gracefully.

This still doesn't fix 5GHz in the office but that's likely due to a lot

The monitor mode stuff is from the openbsd driver, but it doesn't
100% work. It doesn't seem to get all frames for all BSSes.
However, it's enough to at start debugging things. That 0xffffffff
write is /I think/ the RX filter, but I am still not 100% sure about
it all.
Then, whilst here, use the lowest rate for EAPOL frames. This is just
generally a good thing to do.
This doesn't free the mbuf upon error; the driver ic_raw_xmit method is still
doing that.

Thanks to OpenBSD for providing a driver based on the original
Atheros open source driver circa 2008. This uses the early, pre-carl9170
atheros provided firmware.
It only supports 11bg at the moment. I've not tested it with 11a

you do have the dual-band version of this hardware please do let me know.
