<!--

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.

-->



  <part>

    <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.

      </para>

    </partintro>



    <chapter id="basics">

      <title>Basic hardware handling</title>

      <para>TBD</para>

      <para>

        This chapter shall contain information on getting a hw

        struct allocated and registered with mac80211.

      </para>

      <para>

        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.

      </para>

      <para>

        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.

        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

      <para>

        Things related to supporting multiple interfaces should be

        this though and the recommendation to allow only a single

        interface in STA mode at first!
