docs-rst: sphinxify 802.11 documentation
This is just a very basic conversion, I've split up the original multi-book template, and also split up the multi-part mac80211 part in the original book; neither of those were handled by the automatic pandoc conversion. Fix errors that showed up, resulting in a much nicer rendering, at least for the interface combinations documentation.

Introduction

|
||||
Explaining wireless 802.11 networking in the Linux kernel
|
||||
|
||||
Copyright 2007-2009 Johannes Berg
|
||||
|
||||
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".

mac80211 subsystem (advanced)
|
||||
=============================
|
||||
|
||||
Information contained within this part of the book is of interest only
|
||||
for advanced interaction of mac80211 with drivers to exploit more
|
||||
hardware capabilities and improve performance.
|
||||
|
||||
LED support
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
Mac80211 supports various ways of blinking LEDs. Wherever possible,
|
||||
device LEDs should be exposed as LED class devices and hooked up to the
|
||||
appropriate trigger, which will then be triggered appropriately by
|
||||
mac80211.

mac80211 subsystem (basics)
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
You should read and understand the information contained within this
|
||||
part of the book while implementing a mac80211 driver. In some chapters,
|
||||
advanced usage is noted, those may be skipped if this isn't needed.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Basic hardware handling
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
TBD
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, a discussion of hardware capabilities should be done with
|
||||
references to other parts of the book.

Virtual interfaces

TBD

|

This chapter should describe virtual interface basics that are relevant
|

to the driver (VLANs, MGMT etc are not.) It should explain the use of
|
||||
the add_iface/remove_iface callbacks as well as the interface
|
||||
configuration callbacks.
|
||||
|
||||
Things related to AP mode should be discussed there.
|
||||
|
||||
Things related to supporting multiple interfaces should be in the
|
||||
appropriate chapter, a BIG FAT note should be here about this though and
|
||||
the recommendation to allow only a single interface in STA mode at
|
||||
first!
