Module Interface IIeee80211Mgmt

Package: inet.linklayer.ieee80211.mgmt
File: src/inet/linklayer/ieee80211/mgmt/IIeee80211Mgmt.ned

This is not a concrete module type, but a prototype for all IEEE 802.11 management module types. It exists to specify what gates a management module should have in order to be usable within Ieee80211Nic.
