Part of rev 44173 added setting the SM Power Save capability in the hostapd.conf
file if the driver indicated that it was supported. It appears this was
incorrect, because the field in the actual HT Capabilities field in the AP
configuration is really a state indication. Just copying the state from the
capability resulted in the AP indicating that it had SMPS enabled all the time
if it supported SMPS. This effectively just disables all clients from sending
packets to the AP with more than one spatial stream, for no good reason.
So remove this part of the change.

Add some missing 802.11n capabilities to the hostapd ht_capab string when
supported by the hardware: Spatial Multiplexing Power-Save and 7935-byte AMSDUs.

[base-files] shell-scripting: fix wrong usage of '==' operator
normally the '==' is used for invoking a regex parser and is a bashism.
all of the fixes just want to compare a string. the used busybox-ash
will silently "ignore" this mistake, but make it portable/clean at least.
this patch does not change the behavior/logic of the scripts.

This change introduces support for wildcard patterns in "option path"
of section "wifi-device".
Objective is to allow paths like "*/usb[0-9]/*/*" in order to claim
any usb device using the same backend type, regardless of its bus
address or phy name.

The vif option dtim_period was accidently renamed dtim_interval in r38988
("netifd: add wireless configuration support and port mac80211 to the new
framework"). This is wrong and makes the dtim_period/dtim_interval a dead
option because the rest of the config generation code still uses dtim_period.

r40682 ("mac80211: clean up ht capability handling, drop the use of the
ht_capab list, use individual variables instead") removed the ht_capab list and
replaced it with optional variables to disable features for a phy. But these
variables weren't added in drv_mac80211_init_device_config and thus didn't make
any difference when modifying /etc/config/wireless.

This patch enables netifd to query 802.11ac-driver for the maximum
supported A-MPDU length exponent, possibly increasing VHT throughput by
more aggressive frame aggregation.

This patch implements support for 802.11s protected mesh wireless networks (using authsae) in the netifd framework.
Until meshd-nl80211 implements a proper -P option for the PID file, this uses shell backgrounding in order to be able to get the PID for the process.

This patch introduces 802.11ac support to mac80211 and hostapd. The split of
VHT160 in two 80 MHz bands is not yet supported, since it requires an
additional user supplied parameter for the channel of the second band.

This patch fixes a bug in /lib/netifd/wireless/mac80211.sh, where
the UCI setting of wireless multicast traffic (in uci: mcast_rate)
is not respected within netifd. Especially in Freifunk mesh networks
the olsr routing as effected by this, as only the lowest mcast_rate
was used, even when uci ncast_rate was set to something else.
In function mac80211_setup_adhoc() the value of mcast_rate is missing
in json_get_vars.
