Hi,
I was looking at the different class of the drivers and wanted to know in
which class will the RF transciever will fall. Network driver or the IIO
driver.How to get the maintainer list name for the same,
I ran get_maintainer.pl but couldnt figure out who will be the maintainer
for the same.
Rgs,
Rp

What driver exactly are you referring to? An existing in-kernel one, or
one that you wish to submit to the kernel tree?
thanks,

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
A: No.
Q: Should I include quotations after my reply?

I wanted to know in which class RF Transceivers - (Sub 1 -Ghz
devices) Linux drivers will fall and where to find them in Linux
kernel ,
I grepped keywords like Ghz, Sub , and it leads me to the folder
drivers/net/wireless/* but I am not getting whether they refer to the
RF class of drivers or something else.Is there a framework for them or
all will come under Wireless device drivers or network device
drivers?What is the appropriate mailing list for the same?
Few example of such devices are -
Sub-1 GHz CC1120-CC1190 - From Texas Instruments
nRF905 - From Nordic Semiconductor
nRF9E5 - From Nordic Semiconductor
nRF24L01 - From Texas Instruments
Si4455 - From Silicon Labs
OL23xx - From Nxp.
I am writing a device driver for the one of the new RF device and
wanted to refer few examples before that.

Those are wireless networking drivers.

Those are almost always integrated directly into a wifi chipset, and not
independant. If you have an independant device, the GNU Radio project
might be a good thing to look into.
good luck!

I have a driver for nRF24L01+ (not L0) I'm planing to submit it to
main line but before that I was trying to make it a network device. My
dificult was to make it fit in the ethernet world since it does not
have anything in common to a network card. This one can be found here:
https://bitbucket.org/danielhilst/nrf24 the network try is here, but
is not finished: https://bitbucket.org/danielhilst/nrf24l01p

It might be worth taking a look at the Socket CAN drivers (https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/can.txt). It?s not the same type of hardware as the RF devices you?re working with, but it is a case where a network interface was created for devices that are very different than Ethernet.

I look into it,
Still I need to patch if_ether.h and add some ETH_P_*
