Hi Avinash,
Thanks for the clarification.
Obviously I missed the most important part of the path, which caused the
confusion.
Thanks,
Wim.

Hi Wim,
Mwifiex is FullMac driver; we have our own thick FW for managing MLME. This is reason why we do not use mac80211.
Mwifiex is very much located under drivers/net/wireless; its not in net/wireless. net/wireless has cfg80211 driver.
Thanks,
Avinash.

Subject: mwifiex - question
Hi,
I just noticed - from the mails passing through - that mwifiex is
located in net/wireless and that it contains its own functions besides
those of mac80211, while the description on the wiki mentions that it is
a driver for Marvell SDIO chips.
Is there any specific reason why it is not using mac80211 and why it is
located in net/wireless instead of drivers/net/wireless, or is this an
artifact of past choices that need to be cleaned up?
Thanks,
Wim.
