@dalias @nilix @joe @r @pinskia @cr1901 @astraleureka @mirabilos You must be thinking of cfg80211, which is the common API for all modern wireless drivers. mac80211 is just a layer between cfg80211 and softmac drivers. fullmac drivers uses cfg80211 directly.

Most (if not all) wireless chips found in smartphones are fullmac. The raspberry pi also uses a fullmac chipset.
