Log Message:
Implement two major items:

        (1) Add an IOCTL to tell the Lucent based cards how often to
            do an access point scan.  These results are returned by
            calling another IOCTL to get the most recent scan data.

            This function works with prism2 cards as well, but the
            data is returned in a different format, or perhaps it is
            data only for the closest access point.

        (2) For prism2 cards, add the ability to put it into LAN monitor
            mode, where (via BPF) all packets can be received.  This
            mode works best with "wiconfig wi0 -p 3 -f ?" to put the
            card into pseudo-IBSS mode (to keep it from channel-hopping
            and scanning for access points) and to set the frequency of
            the AP you wish to monitor.

            The returned data has a partial wi_frame header (down to the
            wi_dat_len field) followed by the raw data of the packet.
            I have and will put up on http://www.flame.org/NetBSD/wireless/
            some simple utilities which do some perhaps interesting things,
            like scan for access points, capture packets, etc.
