Subject: can't understand the process of RX
Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2011 17:09:54 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1314349794.3030.15.camel@Yunong> (raw)
Hi all,
I have some difficulty to understand the RX process in ath9k and
mac80211, I wonder if you can explain me some or tell me which mail list
should I ask to.
----------------By the mac80211 overview--------------------------------
• packet received by driver
• passed to mac80211’s rx function (ieee80211_rx) with
rx status info
for each interface that the packet might belong to
• RX handlers are invoked
• data: converted to 802.3, delivered to networking stack
• management: delivered to MLME
------------------------------------------------------------------------
My question is which function actually identifies the types of frame and
transmit to RX, data handler and MLME.
Yunong Pang
