terminology questions

  I am working on writing various components for user-space control of
nl80211 devices.  I have had some difficulty understanding the
terminology that is taken for granted in source files for and
documentation about nl80211/cfg80211.  So, in the interest of learning
the terms used I am volunteering to edit the glossary page
<http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/Glossary> on
the Linux wireless wiki, for at least a brief time (1-2 months).  As I
learn a new definition for an appropriate term, I will add it the the
Glossary.

  If you have encountered a word or phrase about the Linux wireless
system for which you need(ed) a definition.  Please let me know and I
will add it to the list of terms to define.

  Can anyone answer (or point me to more resources for) the following
questions that I can use to update the Glossary?  What is a station?
How does a station relate to an AP?  What are the delineations between
mac80211/cfg80211/nl80211?

  Thank you for your help.
