3  * Kernel space API for accessing WiMAX devices
24  * The WiMAX stack provides an API for controlling and managing the
25  * system's WiMAX devices. This API affects the control plane; the
28  * Parts of the WiMAX stack API and notifications are exported to
33  * The API is standarized for all WiMAX devices and different drivers
41  * devices show in the market. This API is designed to be growable in
