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