Hi,
I need to know the HW header is passed to and from an 802.11 device driver. Does the kernel copy a just a "struct ethhdr" into the socket buffer or does the device driver expect a full 802.11 header ? If just the "struct ethhdr", the who and where is it converted to a full 802.11 header.
I am writing a header compression protocol. My compressor is called by dev_queue_xmit and my decompressor has its own ETH_P protocol. I would like to know how the header is stored inside the socket buffer at this two specific points.
Thanks Jesus
