Re: informations about Linux wifi driver's architecture today

[Stefano Cappa <stefano.cappa@mail.polimi.it>]

Hi 
I prefer a generic version, without specific things, like this one: h**p://postimg.org/image/hfkpjt3ux/ created by Johannes Berg.

And, if available something for the broadcom chip bcm4339.

Thank you.

Ciao Stefano,

Perhaps Johannes can post a current overview diagram on the Linux
wireless wiki (if you share with him which diagram you want to be
updated).

In terms of vendor-specific architecture, and how it fits in, Kalle
Valo posted a high-level diagram for ath10k:
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath10k/architecture

Are you mainly interested in the architecture of vendor-agnostic upper
layers or a description of a specific vendor driver?
