ath5k : Where does the actual CSMA take place?

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

 



Hi,

I am reading the code and trying to understand what forces the packet
out of the card, or to be more clear, what runs CSMA/CA and when
detects a tx opportunity pushes the packet down to the phy. I can
track the packet all the way until it gets to start_tx_dma(), but I am
not clear what is the actual call that sends it out, and how this
relates with QCU (I am on a 5212). I suspect that it's within the
tasklet_schedule but wasn't able to find the details.
Also, does QCU get involved on a packet-per-packet basis, or does it
just set the initial values to the device's registers?

Any help is much appreciated..

Thanks,
