Re: Questions about my idea (for gsoc)

I'm not sure what project i'm looking to apply, maybe a netdev driver? Or two network protocol driver with a userspace daemon/utilities to control the antenna? Or just a userspace daemon/utilities. I don't have a clear idea where I should write the code that controls the antenna.

to that asked you to post on the kernelnewbies list?

As "you" I mean all linux kernel hacker.

Yes, I have access to my home antenna (and access point), but I don't have any tyoe of official documentation because it doesn't exist or I doesnt't found it,

I have sniffed my network traffic between the access point and the antenna and I discovered(with wireshark) that they use a custom protocol over LCC (dsap 0x40 and 0x10) to setup the connection to my ISP via LTE. After the setup the AP routes the LAN network traffic to the antenna as expected over a 802.1q-tagged IP packet(with VLAN ID=1121).

Although I don't have access to the protocol specifications, I'm going to reverse engineering the protocol!
