History
Poul-Henning Kamp 419d8080a4 Currently, each wireless networking driver has it's own control program 
despite the fact that most people want to set exactly the same settings
regardless of which card they have.  It has been repeatidly suggested
that this configuration should be done via ifconfig.  This patch
implements the required functionality in ifconfig and add support to the
wi and an drivers.  It also provides partial, untested support for the
awi driver.

===== Configuration
	ifconfig awi0 link0
		changes to encapsulation from 802.2 LLC/SNAP (default) to
		ether encapsulation.  MELCO access point and PAO's ux driver 
		use this.

===== Supported Cards
	Any IEEE 802.11 cards use AMD Am79C930 and Harris (Intersil) Chipset
	with PCnetMobile firmware by AMD.

===== Known Problems
	WEP is not supported.
	Does not create IBSS itself.

	Cannot configure at all on FreeBSD:

		...

===== How to add

*** NetBSD current
	already merged into current source tree.

        pcmcia: update the awi driver, which now supports AMD 79c930-based 
                802.11DS cards as well as 802.11FH cards, and can operate
                in infrastructure mode, adhoc mode, and wi(4) compatible
                adhoc mode. [onoe 20000322]

*** FreeBSD-current
	make directory /sys/dev/awi and put all files there.
	move if_ieee80211.h to /sys/net
	add following lines to /sys/conf/files
		dev/awi/am79c930.c	optional awi
		dev/awi/awi.c		optional awi
		dev/awi/if_awi_pccard.c	optional awi card
	add following line to config file
		device		awi0
	config and make kernel

	add description of your card to /etc/pccard.conf
	    ex.
		card "AMD" "Am79C930"
			config 0x1 "awi0" ?
		card "Icom" "SL-200"
			config 0x1 "awi0" ?
		card "Bay Networks" "BayStack 650 Wireless LAN"
			config 0x1 "awi0" ?
