+ * DOC: Introduction
+ *
+ * mac80211 is the Linux stack for 802.11 hardware that implements
+ * only partial functionality in hard- or firmware. This document
+ * defines the interface between mac80211 and low-level hardware
+ * drivers.
+ */
+
+/**
+ * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
+ *
+ * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
+ * called in hardware interrupt context. The low-level driver must not call any
+ * other functions in hardware interrupt context. If there is a need for such
+ * call, the low-level driver should first ACK the interrupt and perform the
+ * IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue or even
+ * tasklet function.
+ *
+ * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
+ * use the non-IRQ-safe functions!
+ */

+/**
+ * DOC: Warning

+ * If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will
+ * be incomplete because not all documentation has been converted yet.

+
+/**
+ * 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.

+ * DOC: mac80211 workqueue

+ * helpers for sanity checking. Drivers must ensure all work added onto the

+ *
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS: require TX status callback for this frame.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ: The driver has to assign a sequence
+ * number to this frame, taking care of not overwriting the fragment
+ * number and increasing the sequence number only when the
+ * IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT flag is set. mac80211 will properly
+ * assign sequence numbers to QoS-data frames but cannot do so correctly
+ * for non-QoS-data and management frames because beacons need them from
+ * that counter as well and mac80211 cannot guarantee proper sequencing.
+ * If this flag is set, the driver should instruct the hardware to
+ * assign a sequence number to the frame or assign one itself. Cf. IEEE
+ * 802.11-2007 7.1.3.4.1 paragraph 3. This flag will always be set for
+ * beacons and always be clear for frames without a sequence number field.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK: tell the low level not to wait for an ack
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT: clear powersave filter for destination
+ * station
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT: this is a first fragment of the frame
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM: send this frame after DTIM beacon
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU: this frame should be sent as part of an A-MPDU
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED: Frame was injected, internal to mac80211.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED: The frame was not transmitted
+ * because the destination STA was in powersave mode. Note that to
+ * avoid race conditions, the filter must be set by the hardware or
+ * firmware upon receiving a frame that indicates that the station
+ * went to sleep (must be done on device to filter frames already on
+ * the queue) and may only be unset after mac80211 gives the OK for
+ * that by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT (see above),
+ * since only then is it guaranteed that no more frames are in the
+ * hardware queue.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK: Frame was acknowledged
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU: The frame was aggregated, so status
+ * is for the whole aggregation.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK: no block ack was returned,
+ * so consider using block ack request (BAR).
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE: internal to mac80211, can be
+ * set by rate control algorithms to indicate probe rate, will
+ * be cleared for fragmented frames (except on the last fragment)
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING: completely internal to mac80211,
+ * used to indicate that a pending frame requires TX processing before
+ * it can be sent out.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRIED: completely internal to mac80211,
+ * used to indicate that a frame was already retried due to PS
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT: completely internal to mac80211,
+ * used to indicate frame should not be encrypted
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_PSPOLL_RESPONSE: (internal?)
+ * This frame is a response to a PS-poll frame and should be sent
+ * although the station is in powersave mode.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES: More frames will be passed to the
+ * transmit function after the current frame, this can be used
+ * by drivers to kick the DMA queue only if unset or when the
+ * queue gets full.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRANSMISSION: This frame is being retransmitted
+ * after TX status because the destination was asleep, it must not
+ * be modified again (no seqno assignment, crypto, etc.)
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_HAS_RADIOTAP: This frame was injected and still
+ * has a radiotap header at skb->data.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NL80211_FRAME_TX: Frame was requested through nl80211
+ * MLME command (internal to mac80211 to figure out whether to send TX
+ * status to user space)
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_LDPC: tells the driver to use LDPC for this frame
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_STBC: Enables Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) for this
+ * frame and selects the maximum number of streams that it can use.
+ * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN: Marks this packet to be transmitted on

+ * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration

+ * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
+ * 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 a @sta parameter that will be NULL
+ * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
+ * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
+ * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
+ * VLANs are configured for an access point.
+ *
+ * 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.
+ *
+ * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
+ * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
+ * handler.
+ * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
+ * This happens every time the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
+ * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
+ * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
+ * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
+ * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.

+
+/**
+ * DOC: Powersave support
+ *
+ * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
+ *
+ * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
+ * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
+ * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
+ * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
+ * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
+ * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
+ * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
+ * it finds traffic directed to it.
+ *
+ * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
+ * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
+ * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
+ * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
+ * back to sleep at appropriate times.
+ *
+ * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
+ * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
+ * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
+ *
+ * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
+ * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
+ * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
+ * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
+ * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
+ * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
+ * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
+ *
+ * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
+ * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
+ * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
+ * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
+ * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
+ * periods.
+ *
+ * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
+ * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
+ * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
+ * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
+ * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
+ * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
+ * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
+ * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
+ * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
+ * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
+ *
+ * Some hardware need to toggle a single shared antenna between WLAN and
+ * Bluetooth to facilitate co-existence. These types of hardware set
+ * limitations on the use of host controlled dynamic powersave whenever there
+ * is simultaneous WLAN and Bluetooth traffic. For these types of hardware, the
+ * driver may request temporarily going into full power save, in order to
+ * enable toggling the antenna between BT and WLAN. If the driver requests
+ * disabling dynamic powersave, the @dynamic_ps_timeout value will be
+ * temporarily set to zero until the driver re-enables dynamic powersave.
+ *
+ * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
+ * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
+ * uapsd paramater in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
+ * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
+ * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
+ * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
+ *
+ * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
+ * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.

+
+/**
+ * DOC: Beacon filter support
+ *
+ * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
+ * which will reduce system power consumption. It usuallly works so that
+ * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
+ * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
+ * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
+ * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
+ * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
+ *
+ * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER
+ * hardware capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
+ * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
+ * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
+ * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
+ *
+ * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
+ * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
+ * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
+ * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
+ *
+ * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
+ * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
+ * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
+ * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
+ * - a list of information element IDs
+ * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
+ *
+ * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
+ * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
+ * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
+ * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
+ * vendor information elements.
+ *
+ * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
+ * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
+ *
+ * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
+ * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
+ * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
+ * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
+ * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
+ * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
+ *
+ *
+ * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
+ * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
+ * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
+ * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
+ * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
+ * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
+ * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
+ * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
+ *
+ * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
+ * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
+ * signal strength threshold checking.

+/**
+ * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
+ *

+ * "11.2.3 SM power save".
+ *
+ * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames

+ * hardware flags.
+ *
+ * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
+ * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
+ * turned off otherwise.
+ *
+ * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate

+/**
+ * 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.
+ *
+ * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
+ * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
+ * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
+ * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
+ * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
+ * arguments @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.
+ * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
+ * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
+ * the flag, but not clear it.
+ * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
+ * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
+ * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
+ * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
+ * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
+ * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,

+ *
+ * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may

+ * 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. This handler should,
+ * preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately, more
+ * importantly, however, it must never fail for A-MPDU-queues.
+ * This function should return NETDEV_TX_OK except in very
+ * limited cases.
+ * 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 and can sleep.
+ *
+ * @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. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
+ * you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
+ * Must be implemented and can sleep.
+ *
+ * @suspend: Suspend the device; mac80211 itself will quiesce before and
+ * stop transmitting and doing any other configuration, and then
+ * ask the device to suspend. This is only invoked when WoWLAN is
+ * configured, otherwise the device is deconfigured completely and
+ * reconfigured at resume time.
+ *
+ * @resume: If WoWLAN was configured, this indicates that mac80211 is
+ * now resuming its operation, after this the device must be fully
+ * functional again. If this returns an error, the only way out is
+ * to also unregister the device. If it returns 1, then mac80211
+ * will also go through the regular complete restart on resume.
+ *
+ * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
+ * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
+ * 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 and can sleep.
+ *
+ * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
+ * is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
+ * switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
+ * Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
+ * found by the interface iteration callbacks.
+ *
+ * @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. It can sleep.
+ *
+ * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
+ * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
+ * This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
+ * if it does. The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
+ * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
+ * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
+ * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
+ * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
+ * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
+ * can sleep.
+ *
+ * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
+ * This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
+ * to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
+ *
+ * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
+ * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
+ * This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
+ *
+ * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
+ * must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
+ *
+ * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
+ * This callback is only called between add_interface and
+ * remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
+ * is enabled.
+ * Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
+ * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
+ * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
+ * The callback must be atomic.
+ *
+ * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
+ * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
+ * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
+ * registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
+ * that power save is disabled.
+ * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
+ * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
+ * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
+ * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
+ * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
+ * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
+ * any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @sched_scan_start: Ask the hardware to start scanning repeatedly at
+ * specific intervals. The driver must call the
+ * ieee80211_sched_scan_results() function whenever it finds results.
+ * This process will continue until sched_scan_stop is called.
+ *
+ * @sched_scan_stop: Tell the hardware to stop an ongoing scheduled scan.
+ *
+ * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
+ * is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
+ * software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
+ * this notification.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
+ * Returns zero if statistics are available.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @get_tkip_seq: If your device implements TKIP encryption in hardware this
+ * callback should be provided to read the TKIP transmit IVs (both IV32
+ * and IV16) for the given key from hardware.
+ * The callback must be atomic.
+ *
+ * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this
+ * if the device does fragmentation by itself; if this callback is
+ * implemented then the stack will not do fragmentation.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
+ * AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
+ * station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
+ * associated station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. For a VIF operating
+ * in AP mode, this callback will not be called when the flag
+ * %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS is set. Must be atomic.
+ *
+ * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
+ * bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
+ * Returns a negative error code on failure.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
+ * this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
+ * required function.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
+ * Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
+ * required function.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @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.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @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.
+ * Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @ampdu_action: Perform a certain A-MPDU action
+ * The RA/TID combination determines the destination and TID we want
+ * the ampdu action to be performed for. The action is defined through
+ * ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action. Starting sequence number (@ssn)
+ * is the first frame we expect to perform the action on. Notice
+ * that TX/RX_STOP can pass NULL for this parameter.
+ * The @buf_size parameter is only valid when the action is set to
+ * %IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL and indicates the peer's reorder
+ * buffer size (number of subframes) for this session -- the driver
+ * may neither send aggregates containing more subframes than this
+ * nor send aggregates in a way that lost frames would exceed the
+ * buffer size. If just limiting the aggregate size, this would be
+ * possible with a buf_size of 8:
+ * - TX: 1.....7
+ * - RX: 2....7 (lost frame #1)
+ * - TX: 8..1...
+ * which is invalid since #1 was now re-transmitted well past the
+ * buffer size of 8. Correct ways to retransmit #1 would be:
+ * - TX: 1 or 18 or 81
+ * Even "189" would be wrong since 1 could be lost again.
+ *
+ * Returns a negative error code on failure.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @get_survey: Return per-channel survey information
+ *
+ * @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
+ * need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
+ * and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @set_coverage_class: Set slot time for given coverage class as specified
+ * in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 and modify ACK timeout
+ * accordingly. This callback is not required and may sleep.
+ *
+ * @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command.
+ * The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @flush: Flush all pending frames from the hardware queue, making sure
+ * that the hardware queues are empty. If the parameter @drop is set
+ * to %true, pending frames may be dropped. The callback can sleep.
+ *
+ * @channel_switch: Drivers that need (or want) to offload the channel
+ * switch operation for CSAs received from the AP may implement this
+ * callback. They must then call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to indicate
+ * completion of the channel switch.
+ *
+ * @napi_poll: Poll Rx queue for incoming data frames.
+ *
+ * @set_antenna: Set antenna configuration (tx_ant, rx_ant) on the device.
+ * Parameters are bitmaps of allowed antennas to use for TX/RX. Drivers may
+ * reject TX/RX mask combinations they cannot support by returning -EINVAL
+ * (also see nl80211.h @NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX).
+ *
+ * @get_antenna: Get current antenna configuration from device (tx_ant, rx_ant).
+ *
+ * @remain_on_channel: Starts an off-channel period on the given channel, must
+ * call back to ieee80211_ready_on_channel() when on that channel. Note
+ * that normal channel traffic is not stopped as this is intended for hw
+ * offload. Frames to transmit on the off-channel channel are transmitted
+ * normally except for the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN flag. When the
+ * duration (which will always be non-zero) expires, the driver must call
+ * ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired(). This callback may sleep.
+ * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Requests that an ongoing off-channel period is
+ * aborted before it expires. This callback may sleep.
+ * @offchannel_tx: Transmit frame on another channel, wait for a response
+ * and return. Reliable TX status must be reported for the frame. If the
+ * return value is 1, then the @remain_on_channel will be used with a
+ * regular transmission (if supported.)
+ * @offchannel_tx_cancel_wait: cancel wait associated with offchannel TX
+ *
+ * @set_ringparam: Set tx and rx ring sizes.
+ *
+ * @get_ringparam: Get tx and rx ring current and maximum sizes.
+ *
+ * @tx_frames_pending: Check if there is any pending frame in the hardware
+ * queues before entering power save.
+ *
+ * @set_bitrate_mask: Set a mask of rates to be used for rate control selection
+ * when transmitting a frame. Currently only legacy rates are handled.
+ * The callback can sleep.
