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