5Information contained within this part of the book is of interest only
6for advanced interaction of mac80211 with drivers to exploit more
7hardware capabilities and improve performance.

9LED support
10===========
11
12Mac80211 supports various ways of blinking LEDs. Wherever possible,
13device LEDs should be exposed as LED class devices and hooked up to the
14appropriate trigger, which will then be triggered appropriately by
15mac80211.
