2 mac80211 subsystem (basics)
3 ===========================
4
5 You should read and understand the information
6 part of the book while implementing a mac80211
7 advanced usage is noted, those may be skipped
8
9 This part of the book only covers station and
10 functionality, additional information required
11 modes is covered in the second part of the boo
12
13 Basic hardware handling
14 =======================
15
16 TBD
17
18 This chapter shall contain information on gett
19 and registered with mac80211.
20
21 Since it is required to allocate rates/modes b
22 struct, this chapter shall also contain inform
23 rate/mode structs.
24
25 Additionally, some discussion about the callba
26 programming model should be in here, including
27 ieee80211_ops which will be referred to a lot.
28
29 Finally, a discussion of hardware capabilities
30 references to other parts of the book.

45 =================
46
47 TBD

57 Virtual interfaces
58 ==================
59
60 TBD
61
62 This chapter should describe virtual interface
63 to the driver (VLANs, MGMT etc are not.) It sh
64 the add_iface/remove_iface callbacks as well a
65 configuration callbacks.
66
67 Things related to AP mode should be discussed
68
69 Things related to supporting multiple interfac
70 appropriate chapter, a BIG FAT note should be
71 the recommendation to allow only a single inte
72 first!

77 Receive and transmit processing
78 ===============================
79
80 what should be here
81 -------------------
