Beacon sending information

Beacon sending information

[Ricardo Santos]

Hi,
 
I recently started to go through the ath10k driver and mac80211 source to understand where events happen in the code. Currently I'm trying to find where the beacon 
generation and their tx is being handled, but so far without being successful. Can anyone indicate me where I can find that?
 
Otherwise, if it is no possible, I'll be happy if I can somehow add/view a print every time a beacon is sent. Is there a way to do it?
 
Thank you.

Best regards,
Ricardo Santos

There are 2 designs:
 - one where FW generates SWBA event for each beacon (see ath10k's wmi.c),
 - the other uploads beacon template (look for TMPL_CMDID in ath10k)
when starting.

Both call ieee80211_beacon_get().
