package inet.linklayer.ieee80211.mgmt;

//
// Used in 802.11 infrastructure mode: handles management frames for a station (STA).
// Relies on the MAC layer (~Ieee80211Mac) for reception and transmission of frames.
//
// This variant is a very simplistic: the AP address and channel is preconfigured,
// there is no scanning, authentication or association. Only data frames are
// understood or sent at any time.
//
// This module never switches channels, that is, it will operate on the channel
// the physical layer is configured for (see channelNumber in ~Ieee80211Radio).
