| ## Drivers |
| |
| This repository contains drivers for wireless devices. |
| |
| ### Full MAC Drivers |
| A Full MAC driver relies on the firmware in the wireless hardware to implement |
| the majority of the IEEE 802.11 MLME functions. The [wlanif](./wlanif) driver |
| provides the platform-side implementation for Full MAC devices. |
| |
| ### Soft MAC Drivers |
| A Soft MAC driver implements the basic building blocks of communication with the |
| wireless hardware. The [wlansoftmac](./wlansoftmac) driver is a |
| hardware-independent layer that provides state machines for synchronization, |
| authentication, association, and other wireless networking state by leveraging |
| the WLAN MLME library. It communicates with a vendor-specific Soft MAC driver |
| to manage the hardware. |
| |
| ### PHY Drivers |
| The [wlanphy](./wlanphy) driver manages the WLAN PHY devices and provides an |
| interface for creating and destroying WLAN interfaces. |
