some of these need to be enabled for an extra verbose mode or
something):
o Try to print the dBm comms quality. This may or may not be available
for your card in your configuration.
o Print the PRI Id and STA Id. These are in the raw format, so might
be a little hard to read.
o Print CardID so that we can know exactly what kind of card the
user has (this is important if you download firmware to it).
o Regulatory domains are now printed for the card.
o Temp range is printed.
o If you define WI_EXTRA_INFO you get more garbage than is listed
here that you need the manual to decode.
o Channel list is now printed in hex for easier decoding. This has
lead to my discovery that my US symbol card supports channels 12-14
as well as 1-11, which is not allowed in the us/canada.
This ain't pretty, but it isn't horrible either.
Change -l -> -L to match OpenBSD (since we haven't MFC'd it yet).
-l will now list stations that are associated with a hostap (preliminary)

Not much, but it is better than nothing as it discourages
the extremely lazy.
Please read the actual text (the last text was softer than the commit
message about it) before giving me feedback.
Also, in the last commit I also tagged the newly optional elements in
the command line as optional.

Idea from: OpenBSD
The regulations has been changed to adopt 802.11b since Oct. 99.
For 11Mbps NICs sold in Japan, all DS channels (1..14) are available.
Thank you, itojun.

Also update wicontrol to enable/disable encryption, set WEP keys and set the
TX key index. Silver cards only have 40-bit keys. This is something of a quick
hack, but it works well enough for me to commit this from the LinuxWorld
exhibit floor.
The WEP support only shows up if you have a card that supports it.

- Convert to new bus attachment scheme. Thanks to Blaz Zupan for doing
the initial work here. One thing I changed was to have the attach
and detach routines work like the PCI drivers, which means that in
theory you should be able to load and unload the driver like the PCI
NIC drivers, however the pccard support for this hasn't settled down
yet so it doesn't quite work. Once the pccard work is done, I'll have
to revisit this.
- Add device wi0 to PCCARD. If we're lucky, people should be able to
install via their WaveLAN cards now.
- Add support for signal strength caching. The wicontrol utility has
also been updated to allow zeroing and displaying the signal strength
cache.
- Add a /sys/modules/wi directory and fix a Makefile to builf if_wi.ko.
Currently this module is only built for the i386 platform, though once
the pccard stuff is done it should be able to work on the alpha too.
(Theoretically you should be able to plug one of the WaveLAN/IEEE ISA
cards into an alpha with an ISA slot, but we'll see how that turns out.
- Update LINT to use only device wi0. There is no true ISA version of
the WaveLAN/IEEE so we'll never use an ISA attachment.
- Update files.i386 so that if_wi is dependent on card.
- Sort xrefs.
- FreeBSD.ORG -> FreeBSD.org
- Be consistent with section names as outlined in mdoc(7).
- Other misc mdoc cleanup.

- Mention that the 6Mbps turbo adapters are supported in HARDWARE.TXT
and RELNOTES.TXT and the wi.4 man page
- Mention turbo adapters in the wicontrol.8 man page and provide a
complete table of available transmit speed settings
power management. This will only work on newer firmware revisions; older
firmware will silently ignore the attempts to turn power management on.

WaveLAN's radio modem. The default is whatever the NIC uses since NICs
sold in different countries may default to different frequencies. (The
Lose95/LoseNT software doesn't let you select the channel so it's probably
not really meant to be changed.)
