[v20,0/2] wireless: New Driver submission for pureLiFi STA devices

Message

Srinivasan Raju Oct. 18, 2021, 10 a.m. UTC

This introduces the pureLiFi LiFi driver for LiFi-X, LiFi-XC
and LiFi-XL USB devices.

LiFi is a mobile wireless technology that uses light 
rather than radio frequencies to transmit data.

802.11 bb is focused on introducing necessary changes to 
IEEE 802.11 Stds to enable communications in the light medium
