functions into the two drivers that use them (atw and rtw.)
this code is not generic enough to be used by other drivers and
there is no chance that it will ever be used in newer driver since
it supports 802.11b only.
plus, it hurts my eyes each time i look into ieee80211_output.c.

Changes in the ERP information element and in the capinfo field were not
detected properly, so the drivers were not able to adjust their settings
(like short slot time, short preamble, protection mode etc...)
dynamically. Should fix BSS mode with both 802.11b and 802.11g stations.

Instead of removing the rates from the node's rate set, just check that
the fixed rate is present in the rate set. Otherwise, the node will be
marked non-ERP which will force the use of protection mode (either
CTS-to-self or RTS/CTS) in an 802.11g network and degrade performance.
This fixes HostAP mode for 11g with a fixed rate.

allow to export the RSSI Max value with ioctls and by radiotap
headers.
ok damien@ jsg@
description:
we currently use "dB" as an indication for the signal strength in
ifconfig and in the radiotap headers. it means "decibel difference
from an arbitrary, fixed reference". this is quite confusing, because
different chipsets have different references for the dB/rssi values.
we can use the plain RSSI which is described in IEEE 802.11: "The
receive signal strength indicator (RSSI) is an optional parameter that
has a value of 0 through RSSI Max.". all wireless chipsets have
something like a RSSI (normally as a Rx descriptor field), but the
value for RSSI Max is chipset-specific.
if we know the RSSI Max, we can calculate a percentage which is much
easier to understand for the user. we even don't have to use the
absolute RSSI Max, we can use an average RSSI Max, figured out by
monitoring and tuning the RSSI Max of the drivers. if the user gets a
signal of 110%, it would mean "better than the average Max signal".
there's no need to do any RSSI calculations in the kernel, it just
passes the the relative rssi and max_rssi values to userspace. this is
done in the ieee80211_nodereq ioctl structure and possible with a new
radiotap header. the radiotap RSSI header allows to get a flexible but
common signal indicator instead of the complex and unrelated dB/dBm
signal fields. it must include two 8bit values current rssi and RSSI
max.

with IEEE Std 802.11g-2003 standard:
- add ERP Information Element in probe responses and beacons
- keep track of the number of associated non-ERP STAs and non-short slot
time capable STAs in the BSS
- enable use of RTS/CTS or CTS-to-self protection when required by the BSS
- add a ic_updateslot() callback to notify drivers of slot time changes
- cleanup computation of mgmt frames sizes in ieee80211_output.c
- nuke unnecessary <sys/cdefs.h> includes
- remove an unused macro (LOGICALLY_EQUAL) while i'm here
From {free,net}bsd, with additional fixes.

bpf FILDROP interface exists for about one year but the required
interface to the drivers was missing - so it was useless. this new
approach based on a design by henning@ uses a new mbuf flag to mark
filtered packets and to drop them in the generic network stack input
routines (like ether_input).
for example; after some additional testing, this could be used by
dhclient to filter everything except DHCP packets (track tech@
for a corresponding dhclient diff). the "filter dropped" packets won't
reach the network stack. so it's probably some kind of a very basic
application layer packet filter ;).
