I'm working on a wireless network experiment. The hub is running linux. I want to route packets from the ethernet via a proprietary PCI card.
I'm looking for ideas on the software architecture.
I'm assuming that most of the protocol is running in user mode (tell me if that's a bad assumption). The data rates are not very high - only up to 100's of kbit/s. One approach I think is to route to a new network interface. A kernel driver is then needed to pass data to the usermode program. The usermode program will pass data to the PCI card via another driver.
Do any other approaches come to mind? Any examples? Can I route the data directly to my usermode program from the ethernet?
