IEEE 802.11c
IEEE 802.11c is a network interoperability standard that deals with bridging in wireless bridges or access points. This work is now part of
IEEE 802.1D.
This standard is complete and is a supplement to
IEEE 802.1D that adds requirements associated with bridging the MAC layers. The
IEEE 802.11c standard is a supplement to
IEEE 802.1D that modifies this basic LAN standard to accommodate 802.11 frames. In particular it adds a sub clause under 2.5 Support of the Internal Sublayer Service, to cover bridge operations with
802.11 MACs
802.1 covers the management features (and 802.1D specific to bridging) section of the overriding 802 LAN specifications.
