+ * other functions in hardware interrupt context. If there is a need for such

+ * DOC: Frame format
+ *
+ * As a general rule, when frames are passed between mac80211 and the driver,
+ * they start with the IEEE 802.11 header and include the same octets that are
+ * sent over the air except for the FCS which should be calculated by the
+ * hardware.
+ *
+ * There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
+ *
+ * The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
+ * where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
+ *
+ * Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
+ * the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
+ *
+ * Finally, for received frames, the driver is able to indicate that it has
+ * filled a radiotap header and put that in front of the frame; if it does
+ * not do so then mac80211 may add this under certain circumstances.

+ * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
+ *
+ * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
+ * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
+ * decryption. The callback takes an @address parameter that will be
+ * the broadcast address for default keys, the other station's hardware
+ * address for individual keys or the zero address for keys that will
+ * be used only for transmission.
+ * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
+ * VLANs are configured for an access point.
+ *
+ * The @local_address parameter will always be set to our own address,
+ * this is only relevant if you support multiple local addresses.
+ *
+ * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
+ * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
+ * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
+ *
+ * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
+ * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
+ * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
+ * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
+ *
+ * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
+ *
+ * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
+ * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
+ * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
+ * based on the receive flags.
+ *
+ * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
+ * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
+ * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
+ * keys.

+/**
+ * DOC: Frame filtering
+ *
+ * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
+ * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
+ * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
+ * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
+ * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
+ *
+ * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
+ * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
+ * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
+ *
+ * The configure_filter() callback is invoked with the parameters
+ * @mc_count and @mc_list for the combined multicast address list
+ * of all virtual interfaces, @changed_flags telling which flags
+ * were changed and @total_flags with the new flag states.
+ *
+ * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
+ * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
+ * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
+ * or dropped.
+ *
+ * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared, i.e. you
+ * should clear all bits except those you honoured.

+/**
+ * struct ieee80211_ops - callbacks from mac80211 to the driver
+ *
+ * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
+ * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
+ * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
+ *
+ * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
+ *	skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
+ *	The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
+ *	configuration in the TX control data. Must be implemented and
+ *	atomic.
+ *
+ * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
+ *	is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
+ *	frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
+ *	Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
+ *	or zero.
+ *	When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
+ *	to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
+ *	is added.
+ *	Must be implemented.
+ *
+ * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
+ *	is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
+ *	it must turn off frame reception.)
+ *	May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
+ *	an interface.
+ *	Must be implemented.
+ *
+ * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
+ *	enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @open
+ *	and @stop must be implemented.
+ *	The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
+ *	the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
+ *	interface is given in the conf parameter.
+ *	The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
+ *	negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
+ *	Must be implemented.
+ *
+ * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
+ *	The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
+ *	and no monitor interfaces are present.
+ *	When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
+ *	must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
+ *	the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
+ *	MAC address of the device going away.
+ *	Hence, this callback must be implemented.
+ *
+ * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
+ *	function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
+ *
+ * @config_interface: Handler for configuration requests related to interfaces
+ *	(e.g. BSSID changes.)
+ *
+ * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
+ *	See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
+ *	This callback must be implemented and atomic.
+ *
+ * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. If the hardware/firmware takes care of beacon
+ *	generation (that is, %IEEE80211_HW_HOST_GEN_BEACON_TEMPLATE is set)
+ *	mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit must be set or cleared
+ *	for a given AID. Must be atomic.
+ *
+ * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
+ *	This callback can sleep, and is only called between add_interface
+ *	and remove_interface calls, i.e. while the interface with the
+ *	given local_address is enabled.
+ *
+ * @set_ieee8021x: Enable/disable IEEE 802.1X. This item requests wlan card
+ *	to pass unencrypted EAPOL-Key frames even when encryption is
+ *	configured. If the wlan card does not require such a configuration,
+ *	this function pointer can be set to NULL.
+ *
+ * @set_port_auth: Set port authorization state (IEEE 802.1X PAE) to be
+ *	authorized (@authorized=1) or unauthorized (=0). This function can be
+ *	used if the wlan hardware or low-level driver implements PAE.
+ *	mac80211 will filter frames based on authorization state in any case,
+ *	so this function pointer can be NULL if low-level driver does not
+ *	require event notification about port state changes.
+ *
+ * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
+ *	the scan state machine in stack.
+ *
+ * @get_stats: return low-level statistics
+ *
+ * @set_privacy_invoked: For devices that generate their own beacons and probe
+ *	response or association responses this updates the state of privacy_invoked
+ *	returns 0 for success or an error number.
+ *
+ * @get_sequence_counter: For devices that have internal sequence counters this
+ *	callback allows mac80211 to access the current value of a counter.
+ *	This callback seems not well-defined, tell us if you need it.
+ *
+ * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
+ *
+ * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this if
+ *	the device does fragmentation by itself; if this method is assigned then
+ *	the stack will not do fragmentation.
+ *
+ * @set_retry_limit: Configuration of retry limits (if device needs it)
+ *
+ * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about addition or removal
+ *	of assocaited station or AP.
+ *
+ * @erp_ie_changed: Handle ERP IE change notifications. Must be atomic.
+ *
+ * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
+ *	bursting) for a hardware TX queue. The @queue parameter uses the
+ *	%IEEE80211_TX_QUEUE_* constants. Must be atomic.
+ *
+ * @get_tx_stats: Get statistics of the current TX queue status. This is used
+ *	to get number of currently queued packets (queue length), maximum queue
+ *	size (limit), and total number of packets sent using each TX queue
+ *	(count). This information is used for WMM to find out which TX
+ *	queues have room for more packets and by hostapd to provide
+ *	statistics about the current queueing state to external programs.
+ *
+ * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
+ *	this is only used for IBSS mode debugging and, as such, is not a
+ *	required function. Must be atomic.
+ *
+ * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
+ *	with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
+ *	function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
+ *	TSF synchronization.
+ *
+ * @beacon_update: Setup beacon data for IBSS beacons. Unlike access point,
+ *	IBSS uses a fixed beacon frame which is configured using this
+ *	function.
+ *	If the driver returns success (0) from this callback, it owns
+ *	the skb. That means the driver is responsible to kfree_skb() it.
+ *	The control structure is not dynamically allocated. That means the
+ *	driver does not own the pointer and if it needs it somewhere
+ *	outside of the context of this function, it must copy it
+ *	somewhere else.
+ *	This handler is required only for IBSS mode.
+ *
+ * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
+ *	This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
+ *	used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
