        src/sys/arch/macppc/dev: if_wi_obio.c
        src/sys/dev/ic: wi.c wivar.h
        src/sys/dev/pci: if_wi_pci.c
        src/sys/dev/pcmcia: if_wi_pcmcia.c

Log Message:
Enable RSSI-based rate-adaptation for wi(4). This enables wi(4)-based
APs to run at "full speed" where before they ran at just 1 or 2Mb/s.
The AP will adapt the data rate for each client based on packet
losses and the received signal strength.

I have also enabled rate adaptation for STA mode and for IBSS mode,
but the hardware gives us less control over the data rate in those
modes.
