Currently, the mac80211 layer handles construction and parsing of 802.11 headers during packet transmission and reception. Offloading encapsulation and decapsulation to hardware can significantly enhance performance. Check the service bit to determine if the firmware supports Ethernet offload. If supported, advertise the capability to mac80211 to bypass software-based 802.11 header processing.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
