/**
+ * DOC: Virtual interface / concurrency capabilities
+ *
+ * Some devices are able to operate with virtual MACs, they can have
+ * more than one virtual interface. The capability handling for this
+ * is a bit complex though, as there may be a number of restrictions
+ * on the types of concurrency that are supported.
+ *
+ * To start with, each device supports the interface types listed in
+ * the %NL80211_ATTR_SUPPORTED_IFTYPES attribute, but by listing the
+ * types there no concurrency is implied.
+ *
+ * Once concurrency is desired, more attributes must be observed:
+ * To start with, since some interface types are purely managed in
+ * software, like the AP-VLAN type in mac80211 for example, there's
+ * an additional list of these, they can be added at any time and
+ * are only restricted by some semantic restrictions (e.g. AP-VLAN
+ * cannot be added without a corresponding AP interface). This list
+ * is exported in the %NL80211_ATTR_SOFTWARE_IFTYPES attribute.
+ *
+ * Further, the list of supported combinations is exported. This is
+ * in the %NL80211_ATTR_INTERFACE_COMBINATIONS attribute. Basically,
+ * it exports a list of "groups", and at any point in time the
+ * interfaces that are currently active must fall into any one of
+ * the advertised groups. Within each group, there are restrictions
+ * on the number of interfaces of different types that are supported
+ * and also the number of different channels, along with potentially
+ * some other restrictions. See &enum nl80211_if_combination_attrs.
+ *
+ * All together, these attributes define the concurrency of virtual
+ * interfaces that a given device supports.
