Mainly relates to TP-Link devices which have a roving power level programmed into the hardware.
The datasheets for the hardware may say higher power but the chip has been programmed to not go above these values.
Switch to iw over iwinfo because it handles the new channels better.

Testing mode for CPE510
Offset needs to be looked into, OS reports a max power of 23dbm need to see if this is kernel, or offset related.
Should provide enough details for the board to be registered in the UI
When a device does not have a subsystem device ID we will fall back to the board_detect routine.
In the case of a TPLink CPE510 the model will be along the lines of "TP-Link CPE510 v1.0"
In the case of TPLink CPE510 this also includes a hardware version so should the hardware be changed in the future we will be able to key off that as well.
M3 is a 5.8GHz unit with a 2GHz offset transverter.
5MHz width is recomended on these channels.
Send to spectrum analysis for verification that output looks clean.
Stepping stone to working on the wider width of the full 3.4GHz band which has more channels but unlike channels 95-100 (added in this commit) the rest are outside the normal 5.8GHz cal range (but are between two cal points so may be fine)
Create get_interface which will lookup in the current uci network config the realname for the logical interface name.
When the interface is not found it will fall back to a hard coded list.
Configure the UI to use the new get_interface function.
Since a large number of the BBHNDev team has decided to create firmware fully independent of the BBHN Project the decision has been made to rebrand the firmware to differentiate from the origional BBHN work.
We would like to thank all those whom have worked on the BBHN firmware over the years and all those who continue to work on the firmware under AREDN(TM).
Program went GPLv3 last year but license text was never added to files
Default text to give credit to David as he is listed in all commits and to reference the BBHN Austin team at the same time as they were part of the group of HAM's that started this project.
Removing the offset and increasing max power so we have full range avaliable to us.
This may not help us figure out the offset but will allow us a wider range of options.

Reported information and board information do not appear to line up, device will need further testing to verify actual details.
Max Power and Power Offset are of concern.

Made adjustmetns to code that calls wifi_txpoweroffset() to ensure we minimize the number of calls that spawn a shell.
Also adjust the setting of $wifi_txpower to handle the fact that iwinfo returns the known offset.
The dtdlink interface is vlan 2 on eth0 and is used for linking two or more devices together.
This will allow for band-to-band repeaters, sector antenna setups, etc.
see BBHN->ticket:28
Includes band/channel mapping
Code to set default RF channel on first boot
Add many 5ghz Ubiquiti devices in a testing phase including:
NanoBeam M5 (Intl), NanoBridge M5, AirGrid M5 HP, AirGrid M5, NanoStation M5, NanoStation Loco M5, Bullet M5, Rocket M5
see BBHN->ticket:29
Based on testing airOS claims NSLM2's have a 2db amplifier it appears that they may actually have a 5db amp.
Since units keep reporting 3db lower than we expect them to we are increasing the txpower offset until we have confirmed power tests.
fixes BBHN->ticket:11, BBHN->ticket:22
Set default of using chains as more devices being presened rely on chains than those who don't.
Fixed the default antenna and chain support on NanoStataton M2 and NanoStation Loco M2
Added NanoStation Loco M2
board.sysid=0xe0a2
radio.1.txpower.max=23
radio.1.txpower.offset=2
radio.1.antennas=1
Chains are not 100% guranteed to be accurate.
Belive from http://community.ubnt.com/t5/airOS-Software-Configuration/chain-0-1/td-p/140354
that Chain0 is Vertical Chain1 Horizontal when mounted vertically
Chain Mask is pulled from the Rocket M mask as this is the only sample
we have in the database.

Refactor to create a central hash matrix that provides details on
devices.
The if else else else tree was going to get very messy based on
the realization that each device has custom attributes and the
need to provide diffrent settings for each unit.
Allows easier managment long term.
fixes BBHN->ticket:1
Units will show:
Yellow banner for devices we have not yet tested.
Red banner for devices we have confirmed do not work.
Relies on what Ubiquiti calls the board.sysid which is the
value of subsystem_device on the first PCI device.
Includes removing files that are provided by packages instead
of being embedded as binaries.
Changes made for UBNT hardware AND for newer base openwrt (Backfire)
