* DOC: mac80211 software tx queueing
*
- * mac80211 provides an optional intermediate queueing implementation designed
- * to allow the driver to keep hardware queues short and provide some fairness
- * between different stations/interfaces.
- * In this model, the driver pulls data frames from the mac80211 queue instead
- * of letting mac80211 push them via drv_tx().
- * Other frames (e.g. control or management) are still pushed using drv_tx().
+ * mac80211 uses an intermediate queueing implementation, designed to allow the
+ * driver to keep hardware queues short and to provide some fairness between

*
- * Drivers indicate that they use this model by implementing the .wake_tx_queue
- * driver operation.
+ * Drivers must provide the .wake_tx_queue driver operation by either
+ * linking it to ieee80211_handle_wake_tx_queue() or implementing a custom
+ * handler.

* Intermediate queues (struct ieee80211_txq) are kept per-sta per-tid, with
