Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

The WEP code in the mac80211 subsystem currently uses the crypto API to access the arc4 (RC4) cipher, which is overly complicated, and doesn't really have an upside in this particular case, since ciphers are always synchronous and therefore always implemented in software. Given that we have no accelerated software implementations either, it is much more straightforward to invoke a generic library interface directly.
