>Description:
Useful features of wi(4) in FreeBSD and OpenBSD are missing from NetBSD, including
* media type selection
* COR resets
* Host AP mode
This patch unifies NetBSD and OpenBSD wi(4) sources as of
OpenBSD's if_wi.c version 1.61 (31 May 2002). It adds a compatibility layer of macros in a new source file, wicompat.h. It adds pieces of the FreeBSD sources\, too.
I have not tried to apply this patch to OpenBSD and compile, yet.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compare feature sets in Open, Net, FreeBSD.
>Fix:
