Detailed Description

Function Documentation

net80211_ll_push()

int net80211_ll_push ( struct net_device * netdev, struct io_buffer * iobuf, const void * ll_dest, const void * ll_source, uint16_t net_proto )

static

Add 802.11 link-layer header.

Parameters

netdev	Wrapping network device
iobuf	I/O buffer
ll_dest	Link-layer destination address
ll_source	Link-layer source address
net_proto	Network-layer protocol, in network byte order

Return values

rc	Return status code

This adds both the 802.11 frame header and the 802.2 LLC/SNAP header used on data packets.

We also check here for state of the link that would make it invalid to send a data packet; every data packet must pass through here, and no non-data packet (e.g. management frame) should.
