From 819bf593767c0966f320c51c6ed3f3835062abc8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2016 14:56:53 +0200 Subject: docs-rst: sphinxify 802.11 documentation This is just a very basic conversion, I've split up the original multi-book template, and also split up the multi-part mac80211 part in the original book; neither of those were handled by the automatic pandoc conversion. Fix errors that showed up, resulting in a much nicer rendering, at least for the interface combinations documentation.
