- 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.
Tested with Netgear WG111 v3 (urtw(4)), STA mode.

Use device-specific Rx buffer size to ensure that data will not be
truncated + add a warning if truncation was detected (the driver
cannot handle this case correctly yet).
Tested with:
- RTL8188CUS, RTL8188EU and RTL8821AU, STA / AP modes.
(disabled by default).
To enable it, dev.rtwn.%d.radar_detection tunable need to be set
to a nonzero value.
Tested with RTL8821AU, AP mode (no radar events were seen - so,
I have no idea if it is really correct / working)

NOTE: some multi-vap configurations (e.g., STA+IBSS) are not stable;
that will be fixed later.
Tested with:
- RTL8188CE, STA + AP mode;
- RTL8188CE, IBSS mode;
- RTL8188CUS, IBSS mode;
- RTL8188EU, IBSS mode.
Relnotes: yes
- Correctly refresh Rx filter when AP (IBSS) vap is created after STA vap.
- Block any RCR updates during TSF correction (IBSS mode).
- Set CBSSID* bits during vap creation, not when it was started / stopped.
- Cache current state to prevent unnecessary register reads.
Tested with RTL8188CE, STA + AP mode.
All devices:
- add support for rate adaptation via ieee80211_amrr(9);
- use short preamble for transmitted frames when needed;
- multi-bss support:
* for RTL8821AU: 2 VAPs at the same time;
* other: 1 any VAP + 1 sta VAP.
RTL8188CE:
- fix IQ calibration bug (reason of significant speed degradation);
- add h/w crypto acceleration support.
USB:
- A-MPDU Tx support;
- short GI support;
Other:
- add support for RTL8812AU / RTL8821AU chipsets
(a/b/g/n only; no ac yet);
- split merged code into subparts:
* bus glue (usb/*, pci/*, rtl*/usb/*, rtl*/pci/*)
* common (if_rtwn*)
* chip-specific (rtl*/*)
- various other bugfixes.
Due to code reorganization, module names / requirements were changed too:
urtwn urtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_usb rtwnfw
rtwn rtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_pci rtwnfw
Tested with RTL8188CE, RTL8188CUS, RTL8188EU and RTL8821AU.
