Implementation of the upcoming Wireless Mesh standard, 802.11s, on the net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft standard. This standard is expected to become final next year. This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation, routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network. HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented. Authentication and encryption are not implemented. There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ... wlanmode mesh). A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98. Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl. More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported. Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to Sam Leffler for his support. Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

AH_SUPPORT_TDMA is gone; ath now honors IEEE80211_SUPPORT_TDMA Noticed by: Jon Loeliger <jdl@jdl.com>
Sort SEE ALSO section, remove trailing dot.
update; mostly to eliminate ambiguity about what hardware is supported
o note need for options AH_SUPPORT_5416 o mention 5416-class parts o mention tdma support
Multi-bss (aka vap) support for 802.11 devices. Note this includes changes to all drivers and moves some device firmware loading to use firmware(9) and a separate module (e.g. ral). Also there no longer are separate wlan_scan* modules; this functionality is now bundled into the wlan module. Supported by: Hobnob and Marvell Reviewed by: many Obtained from: Atheros (some bits)
Remove references to the obsolete card(4) manpage.
Remove wicontrol(8) from the base system. Using wicontrol to configure an interface has been deprecated since 5.1, wi(4) wireless interfaces are managed via the net80211 stack and ifconfig. Approved by: re (rwatson)
Xref altq(4) for drivers that support it according to altq(4).
Update the URL for the list of supported products.
Fix the web-appearance of Hardware notes, in the simplest way possible; by re-arranging a couple of sentences in the ath(4) HARDWARE section. Clue by: bmah MFC after: 1 week
After a mini-discussion with Sam Leffler, remove the hardcoded list of Atheros-based cards from ath(4). The online list is always more up to date, anyway. This invalidates: PR: docs/95360 Submitted by: Erik Nordstr:om Andersen <erik@erik-n-andersen.dk>
o Borrow from if_bridge.4: note that the bridge interface need to be upped. PR: docs/94545 Submitted by: thompsa
-mdoc sweep.
Work around an apparent mdoc(7) bug. Spotted by: marius Discussed with: ru
o Follow the trend and update a host-based wireless bridge example.
updates: o note all pci/cardbus parts are supported (modulo hal updates) o use ath_rate_sample instead of ath_rate_onoe o note SuperG support is missing o note WPA not supported on 5210 o remove stuff about needing a better tx rate control algorithm MFC after: 3 days
Break long lines and kill a few instances of EOL whitespace. Noticed by: ru
Add a "Load module on start up" comment, similar to mac_*.4 pages[1]. Quote .Cd and .Nd text. Bump doc date. Requested by: some user through ru Supported by: ru, dwmalone, brueffer
Remove the Netgear WG311 from the list. The v1 card is supported, but the v2 card is a TI. Since we're not attempting to keep this list complete, removing this is best. Reported by: Brian Candler <B dot Candler at pobox dot com> Evan Dower <evantd at hotmail dot com> MFC After: 1 day
Removed .Re without a matching .Rs.
Fixed troff warnings.
Remove trailing spaces. MFC after: 3 days

Add Cisco AIR-CB21AG and AIR-PI21AG to the supported list. I'm using an AIR-CB12AG to make this commit. Approved by: sam
Various language tweaks. Obtained from: OpenBSD
Updates for revised ath and net80211 support; the new man pages are placeholders for real material.

Add note about regulatory domains to avoid confusion. Reviewed by: sam@
Bump document date for last commit.
- Add a HARDWARE section which lists supported devices. - Mark up each item in the device list with .It, as per mdoc(7) and to make it simpler for auto generated Hardware Notes to parse the manual page. MFC after: 3 days
Tiny markup nits in an otherwise outstanding mdoc(7) work.
Spelling fixes.
Add Netgear WG311T (PCI version of the WG511T). I just received one and have verified that it works just fine.
o Fix a bridge example: sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 is needless, bridge(4) is working on a level below. Suggest sysctl net.inet.ip.check_interface=0 instead. MFC after: 2 weeks

update supported card table
change bridge mib usage to reflect new world order Prodded by: Ruslan Ermilov <ru@FreeBSD.org>
Correct card type of Netgear WG311 and add WAG311 and WGT511T which are based on the AR5212 and should just work (not verified). Add Proxim Skyline 4032, the PCI version of th e4030. Add revision suffix 'B' to D-Link DWL-G520/G650 entries, in order to indicate that revision A1 cards are not supported by this driver (both A1 and B1/B2 cards are sold in identical boxes). Explicitly point out the existence of unsupported DWL-G520/G650 (rev. A1) cards in the CAVEATS section. Approved by: sam
o add some more retail card identifiers o remove caveat about 11g operation; seems to work ok
Add NEC PA-WL/54AG.
CardBus instead of Cardbus. Add I/O Data WN-AG/CB and Prixim Skyline 4030 cards. Special Thanks: shigeru yamamoto-san for the kind donation of I/O Data and other wireless cards
