Hey guys,

first of all I want to tell you all my commendation for your fine work. Right now I'm reading your source code to understand your code. In the future I'm interested in extending (may be I would have to hack somehow) your code. Currently I'm most familiar with upper level usage of WLAN - especially Ad Hoc mode. Now I got a possibility to dig into the linux kernel and into the maclayer of WLAN for the next years / month during my phd thesis. During reading I got some problems understanding some of the abbreviations in your code. Thereby I was thinking a glossary for your framework could be helpful for future newbies.

Would you like to help me withit?

Abbrev: English / German
If: Interface / Schnittstelle
Tx: Transmitter / Sender
Rx: Receiver / Empfänger
STA: State / Status
skb: ?
wiphy: Wireless physical
ops:
vif: ? virtual interface
hw: Hardware?
rtnl:
pid: Process id


When I will have understood the code, I'm interested in sending Beacon frames 'manually' and during this step reconfigure the Beacon data regularly...

For now all the Best
Sebastian
