Why is that needed? Since you have a separate TX path (ndo_start_xmit), wouldn't it make more sense to call into a drv_tx_8023() or something like that instead? > There is also a new callback for tx completion status indication > to handle data frames using 802.11 encap offload. Maybe you could just use _noskb? Haven't really looked at the rest all that much, few comments: * not sure you're handling non-linear frames right, are you assuming the driver can handle them? probably a fair assumption, but should be documented * you seem to also be assuming that the driver not only does all encryption in HW (which is obviously needed) but also does all the key lookups etc. - also seems fair, but also should be documented * similarly for a lot of other (all?) fields in tx_info * you seem to be assuming that if encap offload is supported then it's also *desired* for AP/VLAN and client interfaces, if not 4-addr. This seems ... probably about right, but if drivers don't always support it? Or support it in more cases? Perhaps we can move the SUPPORTS_80211_ENCAP flag into a VIF flag instead, so they can do it more fine-grained? johannes
