2 mac80211 subsystem (advanced)
3 =============================
5 Information contained within this part of the book is of interest only
6 for advanced interaction of mac80211 with drivers to exploit more
7 hardware capabilities and improve performance.
12 Mac80211 supports various ways of blinking LEDs. Wherever possible,
13 device LEDs should be exposed as LED class devices and hooked up to the
14 appropriate trigger, which will then be triggered appropriately by
