Hi all,
I am sekhar, doing a project on modification MAC layer ath9k driver for long
distance wifi communication..Could any one can give me some idea about...
1) how to change the MAC layer code?
2) where to change it?
3) what are the functions or code expressing in the MAC layer code?
4) what are the files(both header and .c files) relating to main MAC file?

Dear all,
I am very new it and also i am doing a project on "modification of open
source driver for long distance network" in my undergraduate project. so if
any one of you all can give me alittle idea about it also, i'll be highly
obliged..


thanking you
Sekharjyoti

Hi,

It depends on what you're trying to achieve. You may find you can
achieve most of it in mac80211 without modifying the ath9k driver.

But drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/{xmit.c,recv.c,main.c} is a good
starting point, along with the various *mac.c source files which set
up various things.
As I said, it depends on what you're doing. :)

Hi,

I have enabled athdebug via menuconfig in OpenWRT backfire.
 kernel modules -> wireless drivers -> kmod-ath -> Atheros common driver ->
Configuration -> Atheros wireless debugging

But I still can't run "athdebug +xmit" when I telnet to the router.
I can't find athdebug in /user/sbin.
Could someone help me?

Thanks a lot!

Yan

Unless OpenWRT changed something drastically, athdebug is a utility
that is a part of MadWifi.  It uses MadWifi specific API and doesn't
work with ath9k.

I believe you are asking in a wrong place.  This is a mailing list
about the ath9k driver, not about OpenWRT.
