We also have some docs available: https://docs.kernel.org/driver-api/80211/ And I also recommend looking at our hwsim driver as that gives a good idea how a simple mac80211 driver works: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wireless/wireless-next.git/tree/drivers/net/wireless/virtual/mac80211_hwsim.c And you can even tinker the driver and run tests without needing any real hardware: https://docs.kernel.org/networking/mac80211_hwsim/mac80211_hwsim.html And if there are any questions about mac80211 or anything wireless related please send them to linux-wireless. Usually someone will answer as long the question is well formulated. -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
