These books attempt to give a description of the
|
|
various subsystems that play a role in 802.11 wireless
|
|
networking in Linux. Since these books are for kernel
|
|
developers they attempts to document the structures
|
|
and functions used in the kernel as well as giving a
|
|
higher-level overview.

The reader is expected to be familiar with the 802.11
|

standard as published by the IEEE in 802.11-2007 (or
|

possibly later versions). References to this standard
|
|
will be given as "802.11-2007 8.1.5".

Generally, this document shall be ordered by increasing complexity.

It is important to note that readers should be able to read only

the first few sections to get a working driver and only advanced

usage should require reading the full document.

<title>The basic mac80211 driver interface</title>

<partintro>
|

<para>
|

You should read and understand the information contained

within this part of the book while implementing a driver.
|
|
In some chapters, advanced usage is noted, that may be
|
|
skipped at first.
|
|
</para>

<para>
|

This part of the book only covers station and monitor mode

functionality, additional information required to implement

the other modes is covered in the second part of the book.

This chapter shall contain information on getting a hw

struct allocated and registered with mac80211.

Since it is required to allocate rates/modes before registering

a hw struct, this chapter shall also contain information on setting

up the rate/mode structs.

Additionally, some discussion about the callbacks and

the general programming model should be in here, including

the definition of ieee80211_ops which will be referred to
|
|
a lot.
|
|
</para>
|

<para>

Finally, a discussion of hardware capabilities should be done

with references to other parts of the book.
