Hi all,
We are currently porting the Net-X framework [University of Illinois,
Urbana-Champaign] (multi-channel framework) to recent Linux kernels (>=
2.6.34) with the new wireless drivers (ath5k etc.). In corporation with
University of Karlstad, we have already ported the framework from 2.4
kernels to 2.6.18 using the madwifi drivers.
Now, we want to produce more generic code and therefore use the new
wireless drivers / mac80211. The multi-channel framework is based on an
extension of the net bonding drivers, which combines multiple
radio/channel pairs to one single virtual device. In order to do the
scheduling, it requires knowledge about the current queue length of the
individual wireless device for appropriate scheduling. However, we found
that "get_tx_stats()" has been removed from mac80211. Which function
should we use for getting the queue length?
Any comment is welcome.
Thank you very much in advance.
Zhongliang and Thomas
