David S. Miller 579d03fecb This time, we have some pretty impactful work. Among
the changes:
  * changes to make PTK rekeying work better, or actually
    better/safely if drivers get updated
  * VHT extended NSS support - some APs had capabilities
    that didn't fit into the VHT (11ac) spec, so the spec
    was updated and we follow that now
  * some TXQ and A-MSDU building work - will allow iwlwifi
    to use this soon
  * more HE work, including aligning to 802.11ax Draft 3.0
  * L-SIG and 0-length-PSDU support in radiotap

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

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.
