Inheritance diagram

The following diagram shows inheritance relationships for this type. Unresolved types are missing from the diagram.

Known subclasses

Name	Type	Description
Ieee80211Mac	compound module	Implementation of the 802.11b MAC protocol. This module is intended to be used in combination with the Ieee80211Radio module as the physical layer. (The SnrEval80211 and Decider80211 modules should also work if per-packet bitrate setting gets implemented.)
