[mac80211] 802.11 data packets Rx and Tx from user space

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I had earlier posted a query specific to the rx path of mac80211.
Here is a more complete set of two queries.
Kindly help clarifying.

I am working on building a PC based Access Point in linux and have the
following queries:

1. Is there a mechanism for user space to receive 802.11 data packets
with the 802.11 header intact. I do not want to use a monitor
interface as I believe a monitor interface cannot be used to connect
wireless clients. Please clarify.

2. From user space can i transmit a fully constructed 802.11 data
frame. Will RAW sockets over WiFi work? I have not tried though.

Please help in clarifying as soon as possible.

thanks,
-shankar
