Get a linux kernel via git. Look at the drivers in 
drivers/net/wireless. Some of them use mac80211, you can find 
out which one by looking at Kconfig there, e.g. when they have a 
line "depends on MAC80211" there.

Those existing drivers should be a great inspiration to you :-)


It also helps when you share more about your incentives. E.g. 
writing 

> I'm about to write a new driver for mac80211.

doesn't give a great deal of insight into what you're up to. 
Maybe someone else already begin to write a driver for your 
hardware ?!?!  No one can tell you this right now, so you can't 
possibly save work on your side.

For example, the openmoko people are writing a mac80211 driver 
for ar6k. Not every driver is already in the wireless-2.6 git 
tree.
