Johannes Berg says: ==================== For 4.11, we seem to have more than in the past few releases: * socket owner support for connections, so when the wifi manager (e.g. wpa_supplicant) is killed, connections are torn down - wpa_supplicant is critical to managing certain operations, and can opt in to this where applicable * minstrel & minstrel_ht updates to be more efficient (time and space) * set wifi_acked/wifi_acked_valid for skb->destructor use in the kernel, which was already available to userspace * don't indicate new mesh peers that might be used if there's no room to add them * multicast-to-unicast support in mac80211, for better medium usage (since unicast frames can use *much* higher rates, by ~3 orders of magnitude) * add API to read channel (frequency) limitations from DT * add infrastructure to allow randomizing public action frames for MAC address privacy (still requires driver support) * many cleanups and small improvements/fixes across the board ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
