This provides a set of callbacks that the WiMAX + stack will call in order to implement control operations requested by + the user. As well, the stack provides API functions that the driver + calls to notify about changes of state in the device. + + The stack exports the API calls needed to control the device to user + space using generic netlink as a marshalling mechanism.
