          This chapter shall contain information on getting a hw
          struct allocated and registered with mac80211.
        </p><p>
          Since it is required to allocate rates/modes before registering
          a hw struct, this chapter shall also contain information on setting
          up the rate/mode structs.
        </p><p>
          Additionally, some discussion about the callbacks and
          the general programming model should be in here, including
          the definition of ieee80211_ops which will be referred to
          a lot.
        </p><p>
          Finally, a discussion of hardware capabilities should be done
          with references to other parts of the book.
