Some devices have an nvram setting, which make broadcom-wl turn of the
led all the time. When the driver is switched on and we find such a
setting we replace it with a better value.

Some series of devices are using the same mac address, which causes
conflicts for these devices we generate a new mac address based on the

assigned to each AP.

Default gmode to "GOnly" unless explicitly overwridden. This corrects
processing for 11ng to specify "GOnly" for gmode instead of "Auto"
(which translated to "bg").

'nas' must be shutdown independently for each 'wl' device to properly
support devices with multiple radios. Do the shutdown when the device
is disabled instead of when it is brought up.

'netifd' treats all devices with a "." in their name as vlan devices.
Modify the name of virtual/WDS interfaces created by broadcom-wl to use
a "-" instead of a ".", so they will be treated as simple devices
by 'netifd'.
