This device takes over an existing network device and produces a
new one that appears like a wireless connection, returning enough canned
responses to nl80211 to satisfy a standard connection manager. If
necessary, it can also be set up one step removed from an existing
network device, such as through a vlan/80211Q or macvlan connection to
not disrupt the existing network interface.
To use it to wrap a bare ethernet connection:
ip link add link eth0 name wlan0 type virt_wifi
You may have to rename or otherwise hide the eth0 from your connection
manager, as the original network link will become unusuable and only
the wireless wrapper will be functional. This can also be combined with
vlan or macvlan links on top of eth0 to share the network between
distinct links, but that requires support outside the machine for
accepting vlan-tagged packets or packets from multiple MAC addresses.
This is being used for Google's Remote Android Virtual Device project,
which runs Android devices in virtual machines. The standard network
interfaces provided inside the virtual machines are all ethernet.
However, Android is not interested in ethernet devices and would rather
connect to a wireless interface. This patch allows the virtual machine
guest to treat one of its network connections as wireless rather than
ethernet, satisfying Android's network connection requirements.
We believe this is a generally useful driver for simulating wireless
network connections in other environments where a wireless connection is
desired by some userspace process but is not available.
This is distinct from other testing efforts such as mac80211_hwsim by
being a cfg80211 device instead of mac80211 device, allowing straight
pass-through on the data plane instead of forcing packaging of ethernet
data into mac80211 frames.

This patch adds support for new FullMAC WiFi driver for Quantenna
QSR10G chipsets.
QSR10G (aka Pearl) is Quantenna's 8x8, 160M, 11ac offering.
QSR10G supports 2 simultaneous WMACs - one 5G and one 2G.
5G WMAC supports 160M, 8x8 configuration. FW supports
up to 8 concurrent virtual interfaces on each WMAC.
Patch introduces 2 new drivers:
- qtnfmac.ko for interfacing with kernel wireless core
- qtnfmac_pearl_pcie.ko for interfacing with hardware over PCIe interface

The old WDS 4-addr frame support is very limited, e.g.
* no encryption is possible on such links
* it cannot support rate/HT/VHT negotiation
* management APIs are very restricted
These make the WDS legacy mode useless in practice.
All of these are resolved by the 4-addr AP/client support,
so there's also no reason to improve WDS in the future.
Therefore, add a Kconfig option to disable legacy WDS.
This gives people an "emergency valve" while they migrate
to the better-supported 4-addr AP/client option; we plan
to remove it (and the associated cfg80211/mac80211 code,
which is the ultimate goal) in the future.

This is an alternate driver for a number of Realtek WiFi USB devices,
including RTL8723AU, RTL8188CU, RTL8188RU, RTL8191CU, and RTL8192CU.
It was written from scratch utilizing the Linux mac80211 stack.
After spending months cleaning up the vendor provided rtl8723au
driver, which comes with it's own 802.11 stack included, I decided to
rewrite this driver from the bottom up.
Many thanks to Johannes Berg for 802.11 insights and help and Larry
Finger for help with the vendor driver.
The full git log for the development of this driver can be found here:
git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jes/linux.git
branch rtl8723au-mac80211
This driver is still under development, but has proven to be very
stable for me. It currently supports station mode only. It has support
for OFDM and CCK rates. It does lack certain features found in the
staging driver, such as power management, AMPDU, and 40MHz channel
support. In addition it does not support AD-HOC, AP, and monitor mode
support at this point.
The driver is known to work with the following devices:
Lenovo Yoga (rtl8723au)
TP-Link TL-WN823N (rtl8192cu)
Etekcity 6R (rtl8188cu)
Daffodil LAN03 (rtl8188cu)

Now that a new mac80211-based driver for Realtek devices has been submitted,
it is time to reorganize the directories. Rather than having directories
rtlwifi and rtl818x be in drivers/net/wireless/, they will now be in
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/. This change simplifies the directory
structure, but does not result in any configuration changes that are
visable to the user.

Add support for the simplest of MediaTek Wi-Fi devices - MT7601U.
It is a single stream bgn chip with no bells or whistles.
This driver is partially based on Felix's mt76 but IMHO it doesn't
make sense to merge the two right now because MT7601U is a design
somewhere between old Ralink devices and new Mediatek chips. There
wouldn't be all that much code sharing with the devices mt76 supports.
Situation may obviously change when someone decides to extend m76 with
support for the more recent USB dongles.
The driver supports only station mode. I'm hoping to add AP support
when time allows.
This driver sat on GitHub for quite a while and got some testing there:

It must be tristate to avoid broken dependencies with kernel built-in
usb network drivers when usb support is module only.
When net config option is set, least surprize default should match usb.
Wireless RNDIS USB driver used to select USB_USBNET. USB_USBNET now
depends on USB_NET_DRIVERS so the latter should be selected as well.

drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy
Add support to build these drivers independently of the driver for
AGN devices. Selecting the 3945 builds iwl3945.ko and iwl_legacy.ko,
and selecting the 4965 builds iwl4965.ko and iwl_legacy.ko. iwl-legacy.ko
contains code shared between both devices.
The 3945 is an ABG/BG device, with no support for 802.11n. The 4965 is a 2x3

wl1271 driver is under heavy development but on the other hand the older
wl1251 driver is currently considered more as a legacy driver. To make it
easier to develop wl1271 features move wl1251 to it's own directory,
drivers/net/wireless/wl1251.
There are no functional changes, only moving of files. One regression
is that Kconfig won't be updated automatically and user needs to enable
wl1251 manually with an older config file.
