Chapter 3. Virtual interfaces

Table of Contents

enum ieee80211_if_types — types of 802.11 network interfaces
struct ieee80211_if_init_conf — initial configuration of an interface
struct ieee80211_if_conf — configuration of an interface

TBD

This chapter should describe virtual interface basics that are relevant to the driver (VLANs, MGMT etc are not.) It should explain the use of the add_iface/remove_iface callbacks as well as the interface configuration callbacks.

Things related to AP mode should be discussed there.

Things related to supporting multiple interfaces should be in the appropriate chapter, a BIG FAT note should be here about this though and the recommendation to allow only a single interface in STA mode at first!
