   remove the note about powersave being unsupported: it is powersave
   via "ifconfig powersave" that is unsupported for these devices,
   and instead handled by firmware;

   drivers which support "ifconfig powersave" document that they do;

   help/ok stsp

   be somewhat more circumspect with our description of wpa2:

   -WPA2 is the current encryption standard for wireless networks.
   +WPA2 is currently the most secure encryption standard for wireless networks
   +supported by
   +.Ox .

   adjust Xr for fw_update to section 8;
   ok afresh sthen deraadt

   Use ifconfig(8)'s "join" command by default

   Its adoption went quite well, so install "join" rather than the old "nwid"
   in new hostname.if(5) files and follow this trend in our wifi manuals.

   OK deraadt sthen

   Teach modern "inet autoconf"

   This goes in line with hostname.if(5), unwind.conf(5), ifconfig(8)
   as well as our installer.

   OK deraadt

   for the net80211 drivers supporting WPA, update to a new unified text showing
   that WPA1 is disabled by default, and provide a couple of extra pointers about
   configuration. direction of change proposed by stsp, ok jmc stsp

   document that these drivers do not support powersave; two other pages (acu and zyd)
   already document this in a slightly more tangled way - i chose not to edit those texts;

   help/ok stsp

   adjust hostname.if examples to show "wpakey" on the same line as "nwid"

   OK jmc@

   add missing HISTORY; based on CVS logs and release announcements

   Mark up email addresses semantically with Mt.

   ok schwarze@

   jmc notes that the previous commit made for some funny wording.
   WPA is the current standard, but not the only one. ok krw

   WPA is a real standard, not only a de facto one.
   (these man pages do like their copy and paste.)

   Update Damien Bergamini's email address, as requested.

   use .Mt for email addresses; from Jan Stary <hans at stare dot cz>; ok jmc@

   change format strings in error messages to reasonable values more likely
   to be understood by people who don't program in C.
   ok everyone

   rework EXAMPLES somewhat, and remove the obsolete NONE NONE NONE dhcp
   stuff; ok krw

   Update wording for device firmware to talk update fw_update(1).
   Noticed by jcs, discussed with jmc, ok jmc ajacoutot dcoppa deraadt

   use Lk for links;

   firmwares move to a new url, backed by many addresses

   - switch from wpapsk to wpakey
   - remove the "return device to default settings" example, which theo says
   is rubbish

   ok deraadt

   crikey! all our wireless pages had the Os macro out of place;

   - tweak the way firmware links are displayed

   with and ok jmc@

   the `W' in WEP apparently stands for wired, not wireless;
   from Scott Radvan

   link to newish firmware package (3.1).
   i have absolutely no idea what this new firmware is supposed to fix.
   actually, even the Intel people have no idea according to this thread:
   http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=123791786426974&w=2

   use `` instead of $(), since the former works for both csh and ksh; as
   pointed out by claudio

   remove links to the ipw web page, as damien no longer maintains it;
   ok damien

   WPA support for iwi(4).
   some initial WMM bits too.
   use license.template while i'm here.

   tweak the wep section somewhat, to bring it into line with what
   we say for those devices which support wpa;

   link to updated firmware packages that remove the obsolete @ignore
   directive.  firmware itself does not change.

   requested by brad@

   remove the CONFIGURATION section from the wireless pages:
   the addition of the wpa options have shown just how unwieldy it had
   become, it's already in ifconfig(8) anyway, and "ifconfig -m" will
   get the relevant ones.
