/**
 * DOC: Introduction
 *
 * cfg80211 is the configuration API for 802.11 devices in Linux. It bridges
 * userspace and drivers, and offers some utility functionality associated
 * with 802.11. cfg80211 must, directly or indirectly via mac80211, be used
 * by all modern wireless drivers in Linux, so that they offer a consistent
 * API through nl80211. For backward compatibility, cfg80211 also offers
 * wireless extensions to userspace, but hides them from drivers completely.
 *
 * Additionally, cfg80211 contains code to help enforce regulatory spectrum
 * use restrictions.
 */


/**
 * DOC: Device registration
 *
 * In order for a driver to use cfg80211, it must register the hardware device
 * with cfg80211. This happens through a number of hardware capability structs
 * described below.
 *
 * The fundamental structure for each device is the 'wiphy', of which each
 * instance describes a physical wireless device connected to the system. Each
 * such wiphy can have zero, one, or many virtual interfaces associated with
 * it, which need to be identified as such by pointing the network interface's
 * @ieee80211_ptr pointer to a &struct wireless_dev which further describes
 * the wireless part of the interface, normally this struct is embedded in the
 * network interface's private data area. Drivers can optionally allow creating
 * or destroying virtual interfaces on the fly, but without at least one or the
 * ability to create some the wireless device isn't useful.
 *
 * Each wiphy structure contains device capability information, and also has
 * a pointer to the various operations the driver offers. The definitions and
 * structures here describe these capabilities in detail.

/**
 * DOC: Scanning and BSS list handling
 *
 * The scanning process itself is fairly simple, but cfg80211 offers quite
 * a bit of helper functionality. To start a scan, the scan operation will
 * be invoked with a scan definition. This scan definition contains the
 * channels to scan, and the SSIDs to send probe requests for (including the
 * wildcard, if desired). A passive scan is indicated by having no SSIDs to
 * probe. Additionally, a scan request may contain extra information elements
 * that should be added to the probe request. The IEs are guaranteed to be
 * well-formed, and will not exceed the maximum length the driver advertised
 * in the wiphy structure.
 *
 * When scanning finds a BSS, cfg80211 needs to be notified of that, because
 * it is responsible for maintaining the BSS list; the driver should not
 * maintain a list itself. For this notification, various functions exist.
 *
 * Since drivers do not maintain a BSS list, there are also a number of
 * functions to search for a BSS and obtain information about it from the
 * BSS structure cfg80211 maintains. The BSS list is also made available
 * to userspace.

 *      the new netdev in the wiphy's network namespace! Returns the netdev,
 *      or an ERR_PTR.
 *
 * @del_virtual_intf: remove the virtual interface determined by ifindex.
 *
 * @change_virtual_intf: change type/configuration of virtual interface,
 *      keep the struct wireless_dev's iftype updated.
 *
 * @add_key: add a key with the given parameters. @mac_addr will be %NULL
 *      when adding a group key.
 *
 * @get_key: get information about the key with the given parameters.
 *      @mac_addr will be %NULL when requesting information for a group
 *      key. All pointers given to the @callback function need not be valid
 *      after it returns. This function should return an error if it is
 *      not possible to retrieve the key, -ENOENT if it doesn't exist.
 *
 * @del_key: remove a key given the @mac_addr (%NULL for a group key)
 *      and @key_index, return -ENOENT if the key doesn't exist.

 *
 * @set_default_mgmt_key: set the default management frame key on an interface
 *
 * @set_rekey_data: give the data necessary for GTK rekeying to the driver

 *      and @dtim_period will be valid, @tail is optional.
 * @set_beacon: Change the beacon parameters for an access point mode
 *      interface. This should reject the call when no beacon has been
 *      configured.
 * @del_beacon: Remove beacon configuration and stop sending the beacon.
 *
 * @add_station: Add a new station.
 * @del_station: Remove a station; @mac may be NULL to remove all stations.
 * @change_station: Modify a given station.
 * @get_station: get station information for the station identified by @mac
 * @dump_station: dump station callback -- resume dump at index @idx
 *
 * @add_mpath: add a fixed mesh path
 * @del_mpath: delete a given mesh path
 * @change_mpath: change a given mesh path
 * @get_mpath: get a mesh path for the given parameters

 * @join_mesh: join the mesh network with the specified parameters
 * @leave_mesh: leave the current mesh network
 *
 * @get_mesh_config: Get the current mesh configuration
 *
 * @update_mesh_config: Update mesh parameters on a running mesh.
 *      The mask is a bitfield which tells us which parameters to
 *      set, and which to leave alone.
 *
 * @change_bss: Modify parameters for a given BSS.
 *
 * @set_txq_params: Set TX queue parameters
 *
 * @set_channel: Set channel for a given wireless interface. Some devices
 *      may support multi-channel operation (by channel hopping) so cfg80211
 *      doesn't verify much. Note, however, that the passed netdev may be
 *      %NULL as well if the user requested changing the channel for the
 *      device itself, or for a monitor interface.
 *
 * @scan: Request to do a scan. If returning zero, the scan request is given
 *      the driver, and will be valid until passed to cfg80211_scan_done().
 *      For scan results, call cfg80211_inform_bss(); you can call this outside
 *      the scan/scan_done bracket too.
 *
 * @auth: Request to authenticate with the specified peer
 * @assoc: Request to (re)associate with the specified peer
 * @deauth: Request to deauthenticate from the specified peer
 * @disassoc: Request to disassociate from the specified peer
 *
 * @connect: Connect to the ESS with the specified parameters. When connected,
 *      call cfg80211_connect_result() with status code %WLAN_STATUS_SUCCESS.
 *      If the connection fails for some reason, call cfg80211_connect_result()
 *      with the status from the AP.
 * @disconnect: Disconnect from the BSS/ESS.
 *
 * @join_ibss: Join the specified IBSS (or create if necessary). Once done, call
 *      cfg80211_ibss_joined(), also call that function when changing BSSID due
 *      to a merge.
 * @leave_ibss: Leave the IBSS.
 *
 * @set_wiphy_params: Notify that wiphy parameters have changed;
 *      @changed bitfield (see &enum wiphy_params_flags) describes which values
 *      have changed. The actual parameter values are available in
 *      struct wiphy. If returning an error, no value should be changed.
 *
 * @set_tx_power: set the transmit power according to the parameters
 * @get_tx_power: store the current TX power into the dbm variable;
 *      return 0 if successful
 *
 * @set_wds_peer: set the WDS peer for a WDS interface
 *
 * @rfkill_poll: polls the hw rfkill line, use cfg80211 reporting
 *      functions to adjust rfkill hw state
 *
 * @dump_survey: get site survey information.
 *
 * @remain_on_channel: Request the driver to remain awake on the specified
 *      channel for the specified duration to complete an off-channel
 *      operation (e.g., public action frame exchange). When the driver is
 *      ready on the requested channel, it must indicate this with an event
 *      notification by calling cfg80211_ready_on_channel().
 * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Cancel an on-going remain-on-channel operation.
 *      This allows the operation to be terminated prior to timeout based on
 *      the duration value.
 * @mgmt_tx: Transmit a management frame.
 * @mgmt_tx_cancel_wait: Cancel the wait time from transmitting a management
 *      frame on another channel
 *
 * @testmode_cmd: run a test mode command
 * @testmode_dump: Implement a test mode dump. The cb->args[2] and up may be
 *      used by the function, but 0 and 1 must not be touched. Additionally,
 *      return error codes other than -ENOBUFS and -ENOENT will terminate the
 *      dump and return to userspace with an error, so be careful. If any data
 *      was passed in from userspace then the data/len arguments will be present
 *      and point to the data contained in %NL80211_ATTR_TESTDATA.
 *
 * @set_bitrate_mask: set the bitrate mask configuration
 *
 * @set_pmksa: Cache a PMKID for a BSSID. This is mostly useful for fullmac
 *      devices running firmwares capable of generating the (re) association
 *      RSN IE. It allows for faster roaming between WPA2 BSSIDs.
 * @del_pmksa: Delete a cached PMKID.
 * @flush_pmksa: Flush all cached PMKIDs.
 * @set_power_mgmt: Configure WLAN power management. A timeout value of -1
 *      allows the driver to adjust the dynamic ps timeout value.
 * @set_cqm_rssi_config: Configure connection quality monitor RSSI threshold.
 * @sched_scan_start: Tell the driver to start a scheduled scan.
 * @sched_scan_stop: Tell the driver to stop an ongoing scheduled
 *      scan.  The driver_initiated flag specifies whether the driver
 *      itself has informed that the scan has stopped.
 *
 * @mgmt_frame_register: Notify driver that a management frame type was
 *      registered. Note that this callback may not sleep, and cannot run
 *      concurrently with itself.
 *
 * @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).
 *
 * @set_ringparam: Set tx and rx ring sizes.
 *
 * @get_ringparam: Get tx and rx ring current and maximum sizes.

 * enum wiphy_flags - wiphy capability flags
 *
 * @WIPHY_FLAG_CUSTOM_REGULATORY:  tells us the driver for this device
 *      has its own custom regulatory domain and cannot identify the
 *      ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 it belongs to. When this is enabled
 *      we will disregard the first regulatory hint (when the
 *      initiator is %REGDOM_SET_BY_CORE).
 * @WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY: tells us the driver for this device will
 *      ignore regulatory domain settings until it gets its own regulatory
 *      domain via its regulatory_hint() unless the regulatory hint is
 *      from a country IE. After its gets its own regulatory domain it will
 *      only allow further regulatory domain settings to further enhance
 *      compliance. For example if channel 13 and 14 are disabled by this
 *      regulatory domain no user regulatory domain can enable these channels
 *      at a later time. This can be used for devices which do not have
 *      calibration information guaranteed for frequencies or settings
 *      outside of its regulatory domain.
 * @WIPHY_FLAG_DISABLE_BEACON_HINTS: enable this if your driver needs to ensure
 *      that passive scan flags and beaconing flags may not be lifted by
 *      cfg80211 due to regulatory beacon hints. For more information on beacon
 *      hints read the documenation for regulatory_hint_found_beacon()
 * @WIPHY_FLAG_NETNS_OK: if not set, do not allow changing the netns of this
 *      wiphy at all
 * @WIPHY_FLAG_ENFORCE_COMBINATIONS: Set this flag to enforce interface
 *      combinations for this device. This flag is used for backward
 *      compatibility only until all drivers advertise combinations and
 *      they will always be enforced.
 * @WIPHY_FLAG_PS_ON_BY_DEFAULT: if set to true, powersave will be enabled
 *      by default -- this flag will be set depending on the kernel's default
 *      on wiphy_new(), but can be changed by the driver if it has a good
 *      reason to override the default
 * @WIPHY_FLAG_4ADDR_AP: supports 4addr mode even on AP (with a single station
 *      on a VLAN interface)
 * @WIPHY_FLAG_4ADDR_STATION: supports 4addr mode even as a station
 * @WIPHY_FLAG_CONTROL_PORT_PROTOCOL: This device supports setting the
 *      control port protocol ethertype. The device also honours the
 *      control_port_no_encrypt flag.
 * @WIPHY_FLAG_IBSS_RSN: The device supports IBSS RSN.
 * @WIPHY_FLAG_MESH_AUTH: The device supports mesh authentication by routing
 *      auth frames to userspace. See @NL80211_MESH_SETUP_USERSPACE_AUTH.
 * @WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_SCHED_SCAN: The device supports scheduled scans.
