Hi All,

I’m planning to learn the Linux WiFi kernel stack.

I’d like to know what happens in the background in the kernel when I
connect to WiFi.

How does a packet travels all the way from my application to kernel to
air and back.

Right now I don’t have any WiFi dongle, can someone suggest any proven
WiFi dongle which can be used to test with Linux kernel.

Sekhar
