52 | These books attempt to give a description of the | |
53 | various subsystems that play a role in 802.11 wireless | |
54 | networking in Linux. Since these books are for kernel | |
55 | developers they attempts to document the structures | |
56 | and functions used in the kernel as well as giving a | |
57 | higher-level overview. | |
58 | </para> | |
59 | <para> | |
60 | The reader is expected to be familiar with the 802.11 | |
61 | standard as published by the IEEE in 802.11-2007 (or | |
62 | possibly later versions). References to this standard | |
63 | will be given as "802.11-2007 8.1.5". | |

217 | Generally, this document shall be ordered by increasing complexity. | |
218 | It is important to note that readers should be able to read only | |
219 | the first few sections to get a working driver and only advanced | |
220 | usage should require reading the full document. | |

227 | You should read and understand the information contained | |
228 | within this part of the book while implementing a driver. | |
229 | In some chapters, advanced usage is noted, that may be | |
230 | skipped at first. | |

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

245 | </para> | |
246 | <para> | |
247 | Since it is required to allocate rates/modes before registering | |
