This patch is: * A Dirty Hack (tm) * Wrong * implemented one level too low * whatever. Put some abuse here. If packet injection is desired, it should be implemented in the 802.11 stack (devicescape, perhaps). The drivers should not have to care, if the packet came from real network traffic, or was injected. It should just transmit it. So, if we want packet injection, we should implement it at the netdev level perhaps. I dunno what is best, but maybe an additional type of virtual netdev. Maybe it can be done through the master netdev. I don't know. If someone wants to have packet injection, go for it. Implement it. I don't need it, so it is on my virtual TODO list at almost last position. And my TODO list is long. ;) -- Greetings Michael. _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
