lib80211: Library for 802.11 Operations

Originally an idea posed by Sam Leffler of the FreeBSD Project, I decided to help this little ball get rolling. There are a large family of operations that are generally useful when using wifi hardware, this is an attempt to co-locate much of that work into a useful and well-organized library in hopes that it will stamp out some of the obnoxious wheel reinvention that happens.

Here is my latest lib80211 patch to FreeBSD 8-CURRENT:

git clone/fetch URL: http://www.cokane.org/git-root/FreeBSD.git (branch name is lib80211-branch)

Changes

The build has a new lib/lib80211 directory in the src tree.

The following functions were moved out of sbin/ifconfig/ieee80211.c and are now in lib80211:

original name	new name
set80211	lib80211_set80211
get80211	lib80211_get80211
get80211val	lib80211_get80211val
get80211len	lib80211_get80211len
getssid	lib80211_getssid

Additionally, I've moved regdomain.c into the new lib/lib80211 and have renamed regdomain.h to lib80211.h. The prototypes for the above functions are now specified in lib80211.h.
