{{short description|Older IEEE standard on wireless bridging}}

'''IEEE 802.11c''' is an amendment to the [[IEEE 802.1D]] MAC bridging standard to incorporate bridging in wireless bridges or access points.  This work is now part of [[IEEE 802.1D|IEEE 802.1D-2004]].

802.11c was ratified in October 1998 and is a supplement to [[IEEE 802.1D]] that adds requirements associated with bridging 802.11 wireless client devices. In particular it adds a sub clause under ''2.5 Support of the Internal Sublayer Service'', to cover bridge operations with [[802.11]] MACs.
