Minor word smithing on the need for newer firmware.

Add entry for Prism-3 based Siemens SpeedStream card. It has
identical packaging and model numbers, but has had the Prism-II chips
replaced by Prism-3. The wi driver was just updated with the new
entry.

Add a few clarifications to this man page. Also, add a table that
describes the minimum versions of each feature and each chipset type
supported by this driver. Basically, unless you have a very modern
version of firmware on a Prism card, you won't be able to use these
cards for much on modern networks that have any kind of protection
enabled, except for the few WEP-only stranglers that appear at some
conferences...

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.

Replace tbl(1)'s use with the mdoc(7)'s -column list.
Removed cross references to non-existing manpages.
Minor markup nits.

Try to de-confuse ad-hoc, demo ad-hoc and ibss:
o Don't ever refer to ad-hoc mode in the raw. Instead, refer to it as
demo ad-hoc mode or lucent legacy demo ad-hoc or some variation on this
theme.
o Talk about point-to-point modes rather than ad-hoc modes. Use ibss where
appropriate.
o Fix type IBBS -> IBSS

Minor tweaks:
o go ahead and document ibss-master and ibss modes, since there are
patches in the pipeline to support them.
o Note that they aren't implemented yet.
o Note that different regulatory domains have different default
channels.
o Note that Lucent cards prior to firmware 6.0.4 do not support
ibss mode, and only support the older demo ad-hoc mode.
o Note that PRISM2 chipsets do not support WDS mode of operation
(the mysterious -p 2 option).

Add device driver support for the Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 PCMCIA
adapter (and some workalikes). Also add man pages and a wicontrol
utility to manipulate some of the card parameters.

This driver was written using information gleaned from the Lucent HCF Light
library, though it does not use any of the HCF Light code itself, mainly
because it's contaminated by the GPL (but also because it's pretty gross).
The HCF Light lacks certain featurs from the full (but proprietary) HCF
library, including 802.11 frame encapsulation support, however it has
just enough register information about the Hermes chip to allow someone
with enough spare time and energy to implement a proper driver. (I would
have prefered getting my hands on the Hermes manual, but that's proprietary
too. For those who are wondering, the Linux driver uses the proprietary
HCF library, but it's provided in object code form only.)

Note that I do not have access to a WavePOINT access point, so I have
only been able to test ad-hoc mode. The wicontrol utility can turn on
BSS mode, but I don't know for certain that the NIC will associate with
an access point correctly. Testers are encouraged to send their results
to me so that I can find out if I screwed up or not.
