Also, I didn't find any packet encapsulation
fucntions in ath5k code.
(something like struct sk_buff *ieee80211_encap(struct
ieee80211_node *ni,
struct sk_buff *skb, int *framecnt) in madwifi code.
)
any body give me a hint?
Thank you very much.

Hi, all
I'm a student at NYU and I'm very
interested in ath5k driver code.
To understand the structure of the ath5k code,
I've spent weeks on
reading the ath5k code. However, I still cant
figure out what is the
general process of transmitting and receiving a
data packet in the code,
like when data comes from above, which function
is called first and
which function is then called, etc.
I feel very frustrated.
Would anybody help me, or give me a hint?
Thank you very much
You'd better read a few books like:
- Understanding Linux Networking Internals
- mac80211 from Johannes Berg
(
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/mac80211?action=AttachFiledo=viewtarget=mac80211.pdf
)
- Documentation on http://wireless.kernel.org/
without forgetting the source code itself :
- for TX path, starts at ath5k_tx
- for RX path, starts at ath5k_tasklet_rx
Regards,
Benoit

encapsulation is done by mac80211 (net/mac80211), not
ath5k.
