Wireless RNDIS USB is a new-style CFG80211 driver for 802.11b and
802.11g USB hardware from around 2004 to 2006. This makes it more modern
than any of the others, but Kalle already classified it as "legacy"
in commit 298e50ad8eb8f ("wifi: move raycs, wl3501 and rndis_wlan to
legacy directory").
Jussi Kivilinna worked on this driver between 2008 and 2012, and it has
only seen cosmetic updates after that.

Cisco Aironet is an 802.11b PCMCIA and mini-PCI with limited support
for Cardbus DMA and for CFG80211.
Both PCMCIA and WEXT are deprecated, and there is little chance
that anyone is still using this driver, so remove it.

To clean up drivers/net/wireless move the old drivers drivers left in the
directory to a new "legacy" directory. I did consider adding
CONFIG_WLAN_VENDOR_LEGACY like other vendors have but then dropped the idea as
these are really old drivers and hopefully we get to remove them soon.
There should be no changes in compilation or in Kconfig options, merely moving files.

To clean up drivers/net/wireless move the virtual drivers to a new virtual
directory. I did consider adding CONFIG_WLAN_VENDOR_VIRTUAL like other vendors
have but then dropped the idea as we are not real drivers.
There should be no changes in compilation or in Kconfig options, merely moving
files. The order in menuconfig is slightly changed, the virtual drivers are now
last in the list.

This is a driver for pureLiFi X, XL, XC devices which use light to transmit
data, so they are not compatible with normal Wi-Fi devices. The driver uses
separate NL80211_BAND_LC band to distinguish from Wi-Fi. The driver is based
on 802.11 softMAC Architecture and uses native 802.11 for configuration and
management. Station and Ad-Hoc modes are supported.
The driver is compiled and tested in ARM, x86 architectures and compiled in
powerpc architecture. This driver implementation has been based on the zd1211rw
driver.

WDS has long been superseded by 4-addr AP/client and lacks such
fundamental features like encryption, capability negotiation,
and similar. As such, it was basically always unusable as is.
Back in 2016, in commit 8f20542386c5 ("wireless: deprecate WDS
and disable by default") I disabled it and made the Kconfig option
only available under CONFIG_EXPERT to turn it back on. Since then,
nobody has complained about that, and given the severe limitations
with the code, it's unlikely anyone would have a reason to.
Remove the Kconfig option now, so we can clean up the associated
code in follow-up patches.

Kalle Valo says:
====================
wireless-drivers-next patches for v5.9
First set of patches for v5.9. This comes later than usual as I was
offline for two weeks. The biggest change here is moving Microchip
wilc1000 driver from staging. There was an immutable topic branch with
one commit moving the whole driver and the topic branch was pulled
both to staging-next and wireless-drivers-next. At the moment the only
reported conflict is in MAINTAINERS file, so I'm hoping the move
should go smoothly.
Other notable changes are ath11k getting 6 GHz band support and rtw88
supporting RTL8821CE. And there's also the usual fixes, API changes
and cleanups all over.
Major changes:
wilc1000
* move from drivers/staging to drivers/net/wireless/microchip
ath11k
* add 6G band support
* add spectral scan support
iwlwifi
* make FW reconfiguration quieter by not using warn level
rtw88
* add support for RTL8821CE

WILC1000 is an IEEE 802.11 b/g/n IoT link controller module. The
WILC1000 connects to Microchip AVR/SMART MCUs, SMART MPUs, and other
processors with minimal resource requirements with a simple
SPI/SDIO-to-Wi-Fi interface.
WILC1000 driver has been part of staging for few years. With
contributions from the community, it has improved significantly. Full
driver review has helped in achieving the current state.
The details for those reviews are captured in 1 & 2.

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.
This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.
There are a variety of indentation styles found.
a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation)
f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'
In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:
$ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

This device takes over an existing network device and produces a
new one that appears like a wireless connection, returning enough canned
responses to nl80211 to satisfy a standard connection manager. If
necessary, it can also be set up one step removed from an existing
network device, such as through a vlan/80211Q or macvlan connection to
not disrupt the existing network interface.
To use it to wrap a bare ethernet connection:
ip link add link eth0 name wlan0 type virt_wifi
You may have to rename or otherwise hide the eth0 from your connection
manager, as the original network link will become unusuable and only
the wireless wrapper will be functional. This can also be combined with
vlan or macvlan links on top of eth0 to share the network between
distinct links, but that requires support outside the machine for
accepting vlan-tagged packets or packets from multiple MAC addresses.
This is being used for Google's Remote Android Virtual Device project,
which runs Android devices in virtual machines. The standard network
interfaces provided inside the virtual machines are all ethernet.
However, Android is not interested in ethernet devices and would rather
connect to a wireless interface. This patch allows the virtual machine
guest to treat one of its network connections as wireless rather than
ethernet, satisfying Android's network connection requirements.
We believe this is a generally useful driver for simulating wireless
network connections in other environments where a wireless connection is
desired by some userspace process but is not available.
This is distinct from other testing efforts such as mac80211_hwsim by
being a cfg80211 device instead of mac80211 device, allowing straight
pass-through on the data plane instead of forcing packaging of ethernet
data into mac80211 frames.

The old WDS 4-addr frame support is very limited, e.g.
* no encryption is possible on such links
* it cannot support rate/HT/VHT negotiation
* management APIs are very restricted
These make the WDS legacy mode useless in practice.
All of these are resolved by the 4-addr AP/client support,
so there's also no reason to improve WDS in the future.
Therefore, add a Kconfig option to disable legacy WDS.
This gives people an "emergency valve" while they migrate
to the better-supported 4-addr AP/client option; we plan
to remove it (and the associated cfg80211/mac80211 code,
which is the ultimate goal) in the future.

This is an alternate driver for a number of Realtek WiFi USB devices,
including RTL8723AU, RTL8188CU, RTL8188RU, RTL8191CU, and RTL8192CU.
It was written from scratch utilizing the Linux mac80211 stack.
After spending months cleaning up the vendor provided rtl8723au
driver, which comes with it's own 802.11 stack included, I decided to
rewrite this driver from the bottom up.
Many thanks to Johannes Berg for 802.11 insights and help and Larry
Finger for help with the vendor driver.
The full git log for the development of this driver can be found here:
git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jes/linux.git
branch rtl8723au-mac80211
This driver is still under development, but has proven to be very
stable for me. It currently supports station mode only. It has support
for OFDM and CCK rates. It does lack certain features found in the
staging driver, such as power management, AMPDU, and 40MHz channel
support. In addition it does not support AD-HOC, AP, and monitor mode
support at this point.
The driver is known to work with the following devices:
Lenovo Yoga (rtl8723au)
TP-Link TL-WN823N (rtl8192cu)
Etekcity 6R (rtl8188cu)
Daffodil LAN03 (rtl8188cu)

Now that a new mac80211-based driver for Realtek devices has been submitted,
it is time to reorganize the directories. Rather than having directories
rtlwifi and rtl818x be in drivers/net/wireless/, they will now be in
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/. This change simplifies the directory
structure, but does not result in any configuration changes that are
visable to the user.

Add support for the simplest of MediaTek Wi-Fi devices - MT7601U.
It is a single stream bgn chip with no bells or whistles.
This driver is partially based on Felix's mt76 but IMHO it doesn't
make sense to merge the two right now because MT7601U is a design
somewhere between old Ralink devices and new Mediatek chips. There
wouldn't be all that much code sharing with the devices mt76 supports.
Situation may obviously change when someone decides to extend m76 with
support for the more recent USB dongles.
The driver supports only station mode. I'm hoping to add AP support
when time allows.
This driver sat on GitHub for quite a while and got some testing there:
