It's kind of hard to say.  I was mostly reading it to get the big picture
of mac80211's data structures, and for that purpose, what's already there
mostly sufficed.  There are obviously lots of TBD sections which could
use a fleshing out.

Right now, as the near-total noob that I am, I find reading the fine
source is the best way to understand everything.  I think driver writers
new to linux wireless could perhaps benefit from an overview of driver
responsibilities, calling contexts, object lifetimes, etc.  A lot of this
is already at the definition site of callbacks, but some stuff requires
digging.  A howto format in the introductory sections might be useful.
