I seem to have lost this patch, could you resend as I want to look into it. > some of my old branch [0]. btw. I added to the rework now the promiscous mode and decided to not enable this mode while setting promiscous mode flag. It's now setted by doing a ifup of a monitor interface. See [1]. Maybe you will change it like this (it's better) but there are so many issue to think about (Disable promiscous if netif on non MONITOR interfaces etc...). And also you can't have NODE and MONITOR running because it's phy mac sublayer attribute. I will cc linux-wpan, hope it's okay. In next days I will draw some fancy architecture graphic about the rework. To understand what I really did there. (I also have no idea about to implement it 100% right, I do experiments and then think about it "how we can do that in a better way") and very important in a way where we could easily handle/add _new features_. If anybody has questions about this implementation I would be very happy to answer them. :-) - Alex [0] https://github.com/linux-wpan/linux-wpan-next/commits/alex/wip [1] https://github.com/linux-wpan/linux-wpan-next/blob/d5d62172f69ecf8db4dce77e790403e532687662/net/mac802154/iface.c#L42 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wpan" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
