Since these 11*0bb33e25SJonathan Corbetbooks are for kernel developers they attempts to document the 12*0bb33e25SJonathan Corbetstructures and functions used in the kernel as well as giving a 13*0bb33e25SJonathan Corbethigher-level overview. 14*0bb33e25SJonathan Corbet 15*0bb33e25SJonathan CorbetThe reader is expected to be familiar with the 802.11 standard as 16*0bb33e25SJonathan Corbetpublished by the IEEE in 802.11-2007 (or possibly later versions). 17*0bb33e25SJonathan CorbetReferences to this standard will be given as "802.11-2007 8.1.5". 18
