2019-03-02doc: net: ieee802154: remove old plain text docs after switching to rstStefan Schmidt1-177/+0
The plain text docs are converted to rst now, which allows us to remove the old text file from the tree. Signed-off-by: Stefan Schmidt <stefan@datenfreihafen.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2017-11-29doc: linux-wpan: Fulfill the description of missed 802.15.4 APIsJian-Hong Pan1-0/+40
There are more functions and operations which must be used or implemented in each IEEE 802.15.4 device driver, but are not mentioned in the Device drivers API section of Documentation/networking/ieee802154.txt. Therefore, I want to fulfill the missed part into the documentation with this patch.

2017-08-11doc: linux-wpan: Change the old function names to the lastest function namesJian-Hong Pan1-8/+8
The function declaration in the lastest include/net/mac802154.h has been changed since v3.19. ieee802154_alloc_device => ieee802154_alloc_hw ieee802154_free_device => ieee802154_free_hw ieee802154_register_device => ieee802154_register_hw ieee802154_unregister_device => ieee802154_unregister_hw However, the description in the Device drivers API section of Documentation/networking/ieee802154.txt is still in the state of v3.18.63.

2015-05-26Documentation/networking/ieee802154.txt: fix various inaccuracies.Lennert Buytenhek1-21/+11
* Update the linux-zigbee git:// repository URL. * Remove the MLME section as the current kernel does not provide a full 802.15.4 MLME implementation. * The hardmac example driver 'fakehard' was removed some time ago. * The IEEE 802.15.4 device drivers live in drivers/net/ieee802154/, not in drivers/ieee802154/. * The IEEE 802.15.4 MTU is 127 bytes, not 128 bytes. * Some of the 6LoWPAN code lives in net/6lowpan/.

2013-04-08ieee802154/nl-mac.c: make some MLME operations optionalWerner Almesberger1-2/+3
Check for NULL before calling the following operations from "struct ieee802154_mlme_ops": assoc_req, assoc_resp, disassoc_req, start_req, and scan_req. This fixes a current oops where those functions are called but not implemented. It also updates the documentation to clarify that they are now optional by design. If a call to an unimplemented function is attempted, the kernel returns EOPNOTSUPP via netlink. The following operations are still required: get_phy, get_pan_id, get_short_addr, and get_dsn. Note that the places where this patch changes the initialization of "ret" should not affect the rest of the code since "ret" was always set (again) before returning its value.
