QUESTIONS to ieee80211_beacon_get AND ieee80211_get_buffered_bc

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

 



Hy all,

I have a question to he two methods:

ieee80211_beacon_get
ieee80211_get_buffered_bc
in tx.c

Both are called by the hardware to get the current beacon from the ieee80211 stack, right? So if I want to manipulate the beacons send out I would start at this point right?

But where is the difference inbetween is it depending on the hardwaredriver, which method is called?

How often refresh the hardwaredriver usually the requested beacon ? Per transmission or only once for ther activity duration? Which kind of hardwaredrivers does allready utilize this methods, isit allready the standard way to transfer the generation of the beacons to the stack?

An total independent question: Following the suggestion of Holger Schurig I started to extend the Glossary in the wiki (with the abbreviations in the source code) a few hours ago, but My extension was removed again. Why?

All the Best
Sebastian
