Hello Johannes,
thanks to your helpfull support, which enabled me to precise my request,
which I edited in the follows:
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 driver to get a current beacon from
the ieee80211 stack. Thereby the ieee80211_beacon_get is called
normally. The other method is just called, if a buffered /multicast
channel(DTIM) is needed or used - but necessaryly the
ieee80211_beacon_get must be called before. Is this right?
So if I want to manipulate the beacons send out I would start at
ieee80211_beacon_get right?
How often refresh the hardwaredriver usually the requested beacon?
Does "Returned skb is used only once and low-level driver is
responsible of freeing it." means, that the method is called always
when new Beacon frame will be transmitted? Or does this depend on the
hardware?
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
