Hi Wim, Mwifiex is FullMac driver; we have our own thick FW for managing MLME. This is reason why we do not use mac80211. Mwifiex is very much located under drivers/net/wireless; its not in net/wireless. net/wireless has cfg80211 driver.
Thanks, Avinash. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of wim torfs [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2015 7:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: mwifiex - question Hi, I just noticed - from the mails passing through - that mwifiex is located in net/wireless and that it contains its own functions besides those of mac80211, while the description on the wiki mentions that it is a driver for Marvell SDIO chips. Is there any specific reason why it is not using mac80211 and why it is located in net/wireless instead of drivers/net/wireless, or is this an artifact of past choices that need to be cleaned up?
