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 Correct. > Tx: Transmitter / Sender It can also be just "Transmit". > Rx: Receiver / Empfänger Again, can be "Receive. > STA: State / Status No. STA=Station.
