Re: [ath9k-devel] Wifi basics documents
Hi Thanks for reply i referred that site (wireless.kernel.org) as you said there is lot of information but i am bit confused in getting right information because i am not interested much about hardware architecture as of now I need clear picture of software architecture but in the website there is lot of information so bit confused where to start any successions will be helpful for me Thanks Regards O S L Reddy slredd...@gmail.com On Fri, Feb 8, 2013 at 2:04 PM, Arend van Spriel ar...@broadcom.com wrote: On 02/08/2013 07:55 AM, Onteddu Slreddy wrote: Hello All, I recently joined this group the group.
