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.
