Hello, Assume i have configured the WMM parameters per Access Category, such as CWmin, CWmax etc. I believe a frame that needs to be transmitted over a WiFi interface using mac80211 needs to be given only the 802.3 equivalent frame. In this case, how does the driver get the priority information to classify the packet into one of the 4 Access Categories? Should i transmit a Priority tagged 802.3 packet instead of an untagged 802.3 packet? Please clarify. Would appreaciate if someone could throw some light immediately. thanks, -shankar
