[ath9k-devel] Ath9k Private IOCTL and tx/rx functions

[Sandip Sitapara]

Hello,

I have been trying to customized the ath9k driver. I have gone through the
code but it's quit confusing to me after working on madwifi driver.
So It would be very helpful if anybody can give me the general flow of the
driver. And also need some information about how to implement the
private IOCTL and where should we processing the DATA frame and MGMT frame
in tx/rx?

Thanks,
-S

The "general flow" should be basically the same for all mac80211
drivers, so linux-wireless may be a better list to ask.  Following links
could be useful for you:

Use of IOCTLs is considered obsolete, but you can find a lot of examples
in the kernel and online.  And in MadWifi too.
