What about using AF_PACKET bound to underlying wireless device and the packet type. You can even use BPF to filter.As far as I know, AF_PACKET only works when not binding it to the packet type (otherwise it get stolen by the rx handler).You can do AF_PACKET and it gets handle before rx_handler.
If I don't bind it to a protocol, it ends up in ptype_all, if I do, it ends up in &ptype_base. ptype_all is processed before the rx_handler, ptype_base is processed after the rx handler. Hooking into ptype_all wastes tons of CPU cycles, hooking into ptype_base does not solve the problem. - Felix -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
