Hi Arend,
quoted
So essentially we'd need a new operation in cfg80211_ops that would accept the control port frame data and some control flags. Do we want to pass in an skb with all the 802.11 headers set or a 802.3 formatted skb (since that is what other data frames look like initially on the netdev).Our firmware expects EAPOL stuff to come in as 802.3 packet, which probably applies to the other full-mac devices as well. Is there any reason for passing 802.11 packets.
I think it was suggested earlier somewhere in this thread to use 802.11 header similar to how mgmt_tx does things. To me it makes more sense to use 802.3 headers so I thought I would double check. Regards, -Denis
