+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.
