count handling of station entries in hostap mode:
Input path:
o driver is now expected to find the node associated with the
sender of a received frame; use ic_bss if none is located
o driver passes the (referenced) node into ieee80211_input for
use within the wlan module and is responsible for cleaning up
on return
o the antenna state is no longer passed up with each frame; this
is now considered driver-private state and drivers are responsible
for keeping it in the driver-private part of a node
Output path:
Revamp output path for management frames to eliminate redundant
locking that causes problems and to correct reference counting
bogosity that occurs when stations are timed out due to inactivity
(in AP mode). On output the refcnt'd node is stashed in the pkthdr's
recvif field (yech) and retrieved by the driver. This eliminates
an unref/ref scenario and related node table unlock/lock due to the
driver looking up the node. This is particularly important when
stations are timed out as this causes a lock order reversal that
can result in a deadlock. As a byproduct we also reduce the overhead
for sending management frames (minimal). Additional fallout from
this is a change to ieee80211_encap to return a refcn't node for
tieing to the outbound frame. Node refcnts are not reclaimed until
after a frame is completely processed (e.g. in the tx interrupt
handler). This is especially important for timed out stations as
this deref will be the final one causing the node entry to be
reclaimed.
Additional semi-related changes:
o replace m_copym use with m_copypacket (optimization)
o add assert to verify ic_bss is never free'd during normal operation
o add comments explaining calling conventions by drivers for frames
going in each direction
o remove extraneous code that "cannot be executed" (e.g. because
pointers may never be null)
quietly discard them; this just permits them to be collected with bpf)
o add a counter for the number of rate control frames discarded when not in
monitor mode
o move the rx "too short" statistic in the stat structure so non-error rx stats
are together (NB: ABI change to apps that collect stats via driver ioctl)
mistakes (this mistake was not an issue because the length is only used to
decide whether or not to allocate a cluster)
o while here, move a beacon length comment to the "right place"
present, and non-zero when it is (or may be) absent. The test
cbb_child_present was backwards. However, typical usage in the tree
would cause it to do the right thing because the card really wasn't
there the OK flag would be turned on.
Also, assume that if any of these bits are turned on we don't have a
card, rather than requiring both of them in the suspend/resume
routines.
Noticed by: cognet
to what is in NetBSD. I have a few cards that tickles this bug, and
this just keeps us from panicing. It doesn't actually fix the problem
(that will happen once I figure out why some cards hate the address
their CIS is mapped to high memory).
A timecounter will be selected when registered if its quality is
not negative and no less than the current timecounters.
Add a sysctl to report all available timecounters and their qualities.
Give the dummy timecounter a solid negative quality of minus a million.
Give the i8254 zero and the ACPI 1000.
The TSC gets 800, unless APM or SMP forces it negative.
Other timecounters default to zero quality and thereby retain current
selection behaviour.
Correctly handle additional disks without BIOS partition tables.
Previously, vinum_scandisk stopped scanning additional disks for
native partitions after any good partition was found. This applies
to all platforms, but was a particular problem on systems without
BIOS partition tables.

This is not known to have caused problems. Bug symptoms might have included
instability after an aborted suspend attempt or power/sleep buttons not
being enabled.
CP-168U board. It initializes and attaches in the same way as the
older (but higher performance) C168H. The only difference is the
board ID, which is 0x1681.

the Palm device and the USB host controller deadlock. The USB host
controller is expecting an early-end-of-transmission packet with 0
data, and the Palm doesn't send one because it's already communicated
the amount of data it's going to send in a header (which ucom/uvisor
are oblivious to). This is the problem that has been known on the
pilot-link lists as the "[Free]BSD USB problem", but not understood.

We currently use more ore less evil hacks (slow_msp_audio sysctl) to
configure the various variants of these chips in order to have
stereo autodetection work. Nevertheless, this doesn't always work
even though it _should_, according to the specs.
This is, for example, the case for some popular Hauppauge models sold
sold in Germany.
However, the Linux driver always worked for me and others. Looking at
the sourcecode you will find that the linux-driver uses a very much
enhanced approach to program the various msp34xx chipset variants,
which is also found in the specs for these chips.
This is a port of the Linux MSP34xx code, written by Gerd Knorr
<kraxel@bytesex.org>, who agreed to re-release his code under a
BSD license for this port.
A new config option "BKTR_NEW_MSP34XX_DRIVER" is added, which is required
to enable the new driver. Otherwise the old code is used.
The msp34xx.c file is diff-reduced to the linux-driver to make later
modifications easier, thus it doesn't follow style(9) in most cases.

These are 10/100 only NICs found on the IBM Thinkpad R40E and
G40. These seem to be based on the BCM5705 MAC but with a PHY
that doesn't support 1000Mbps modes.
