Its what defines the generic data structure for all 802.11 devices, both FullMAC and SoftMAC, it also defines the new API for 802.11 for Linux, you register your struct wiphy device to cfg80211, your driver has cfg80211_ops and you use nl80211 to communicate to cfg80211 from userspace for a wiphy device or just generally to cfg80211 (for iw reg get/set).
