                         ifmedia.c 
  Log:
  Update for revised 802.11 support:
  o revised channel handling support; ifconfig now queries the kernel to
    find the list of available channels and handles channel promotion;
    channel attributes can be specified as part of the channel; e.g. 36:a
    for channel 36 in 11a (as opposed to turbo A or HT A)
  o use channel list to map between freq and IEEE channel #; this eliminates
    all knowledge of how the mapping is done and fixes handling of cases
    where channels overlap in the IEEE channel # space but are distinct in
    the frequency+attributes space (e.g. PSB)
  o add new knobs: bgscan, ff (Atheors fast frames), dturbo (Atheros
    Dynamic Turbo mode), bgscanidle, bgscanintvl, scanvalid, roam:rssi11a,
    roam:rssi11b, roam:rssi11g, roam:rate11a, roam:rate11b, roam:rate11g
    (roaming parameters), burst, doth (forthcoming 11h support)
  o print contents of WME, ATH, WPA, RSN, information elements with -v option
  o print signal strength in dBm
  o print noise floor in dBm
  o add list txpow to print tx power caps/channel
  o change default channel display in status to be more informative
