ieee80211_rate2plcp() and ieee80211_rate2phytype() are both pre-11n
routines and thus assert if one passes in a rate code with the
high bit set.

Since the high bit can indicate either IEEE80211_RATE_BASIC or
IEEE80211_RATE_MCS, it's up to the caller to determine whether
the rate is 11n or not, and either mask out the BASIC bit, or
call a different function.

(Yes, this does mean that net80211 should grow 11n-aware rate2phytype()
and rate2plcp() functions..)

This may need to happen for the other drivers - it's currently only
done (now) for iwn(4) and bwi(4).

PR: kern/181100


# 235338 12-May-2012 adrian

Add opt_wlan.h includes, so IEEE80211_* configuration changes are
correctly picked up.

Bring in Andrew Thompson's port of Sepherosa Ziehau's bwi driver for
Broadcom BCM43xx chipsets. This driver uses the v3 firmware that
needs to be fetched separately. A port will be committed to create
the bwi firmware module.

The driver matches the following chips: Broadcom BCM4301, BCM4307,
BCM4306, BCM4309, BCM4311, BCM4312, BCM4318, BCM4319

The driver works for 802.11b and 802.11g.

Limitations:
This doesn't support the 802.11a or 802.11n portion of radios.
Some BCM4306 and BCM4309 cards don't work with Channel 1, 2 or 3.
Documenation for this firmware is reverse engineered from
http://bcm.sipsolutions.net/
V4 of the firmware is needed for 11a or 11n support
http://bcm-v4.sipsolutions.net/
Firmware needs to be fetched from a third party, port to be committed

# I've tested this with a BCM4319 mini-pci and a BCM4318 CardBus card, and
# not connected it to the build until the firmware port is committed.
