Re: Loop detected - calling function from different modules

From: Frank Schneider <hidden>

Dear Johannes,

I just got an idea, may be not usefull,  but I am gonna try:

If I assign a function which is implemented in ath_pci module to
hard_start_xmit
and do  my little work and call  the actual function to xmit data frame in 
wlan module.
that I can do..
accordingly I will pass the concern structure sk_buff that contain data 
frame..
that will serve my purpose as well as normal data frame is suppose to send 
out from the device, AP.

can I do it ?
I will let you know, if I success...

/Frank

Any suggestions to do that please ?
d80211 has a hardware definition struct that is registered by the driver
and contains a callback that is called for each frame. This is the
direction you should take as well:

   hard_start_xmit (generic code)
calls
   hardware_xmit (your module code, e.g. in a struct wlan_device)
