I look into it,

Still I need to patch if_ether.h and add some ETH_P_*

Re: RF class driver

[Daniel.]

I have a driver for nRF24L01+ (not L0) I'm planing to submit it to
main line but before that I was trying to make it a network device. My
dificult was to make it fit in the ethernet world since it does not
have anything in common to a network card. This one can be found here:
https://bitbucket.org/danielhilst/nrf24 the network try is here, but
is not finished: https://bitbucket.org/danielhilst/nrf24l01p

Those are wireless networking drivers.

Those are almost always integrated directly into a wifi chipset, and not
independant.  If you have an independant device, the GNU Radio project
might be a good thing to look into.

good luck!

 I wanted to know in which class RF Transceivers - (Sub 1 -Ghz
devices) Linux drivers will fall and where to find them in Linux
kernel ,
 I grepped keywords like Ghz, Sub , and it leads me to the folder
drivers/net/wireless/* but I am not getting whether they refer to the
RF class of drivers or something else.Is there a framework for them or
all will come under Wireless device drivers or network device
drivers?What is the appropriate mailing list for the same?

Few example of such devices are -

Sub-1 GHz CC1120-CC1190 - From Texas Instruments

nRF905 - From Nordic Semiconductor

nRF9E5 - From Nordic Semiconductor

nRF24L01 - From Texas Instruments

Si4455  - From Silicon Labs
OL23xx  - From Nxp.


I am writing a device driver for the one of the new RF device and
wanted to refer few examples before that.

What driver exactly are you referring to?  An existing in-kernel one, or
one that you wish to submit to the kernel tree?
