| 9 | These books attempt to give a description of the various subsystems |
| 10 | that play a role in 802.11 wireless networking in Linux. Since these |
| 11 | books are for kernel developers they attempts to document the |
| 12 | structures and functions used in the kernel as well as giving a |
| 13 | higher-level overview. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | The reader is expected to be familiar with the 802.11 standard as |
| 16 | published by the IEEE in 802.11-2007 (or possibly later versions). |
| 17 | References to this standard will be given as "802.11-2007 8.1.5". |
