Message-ID: <1453872145.4956.3.camel@sunil.sibshivalik.com> Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2016 10:52:25 +0530 From: Sunil Shahu <shshahu@...il.com> To: linux-wireless@...r.kernel.org Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Need direction to understand mac80211 Hi, I am currently working on an project that aims to provide multiple 802.11ac radio support on a single node for mesh network. In this both the radios will operate in different channel and will talk to different nodes in mesh network. I need to work with kernel mac80211 driver subsystem for the same. I went through different documentation to understand the theories of 802.11s which can help during working on mac80211 driver. However I am not able to understand the source code properly. Can you please provide some guidance to understand mac80211 and related networking stack in Linux kernel. I am looking for 1) How to create bridge bridge for two Phy radios during initialization/packet forwarding? 2) Also, need some idea about how packets will be routed in mesh_hwmp. 3) How the path request and response should behave in this case? 4) Will there be any changes for mesh path table entries? Any suggestion for document/book/blog will be great help. I already went through following materials. http://kernelnewbies.org/Documents/Kernel-Docbooks?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=mac80211_2.6.29.pdf http://www.campsmur.cat/files/mac80211_intro.pdf https://www.cwnp.com/uploads/802-11s_mesh_networking_v1-0.pdf http://www.ieee802.org/802_tutorials/06-November/802.11s_Tutorial_r5.pdf Any suggestion and directions will be great help. Thanks, Sunil Shahu.
