It provides a frame template to the kernel (driver or 802.11 stack) and the actual transmission is coordinated by the WLAN driver (and/or firmware). With some drivers (e.g., most drivers using mac80211), hostapd takes care of Probe Request frame processing and sending of the Probe Response frames (which have similar information to the Beacon frames). -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
