wireless: move documentation books
This moves mac80211 documentation into a new 802.11 bookset and also adds a cfg80211 book to the set. All of this is rather incomplete, but it's easier to work with big code moving as a separate patch. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

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".

skipped at first.

This chapter shall contain information on getting a hw

</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.
