Porting documents or instructions?

[e1001925]

Dear open80211s team,

I plan to porting the open80211s to a mac80211 based driver for a platform.

I saw the description is "may require minimal code changes", but I am still looking for a suitable entry point..

I just found this project, but many links in the wiki document are lost... I am looking for any documents or suggestions that may help me porting, or even better, a patch to enable 80211s..

Thanks in advanced.

Which driver are you looking at? The driver will need to support:

• FIF_OTHER_BSS RX filter (or dumb promiscuous mode if not possible)
• beaconing
• 802.11s 4 and 6 addr frames

There are probably additional requirements for secure mesh. Try open mesh to start with.

Hi Thomas ,

Thanks for your reply. I get a WiFi driver, so I believe it supports those functions.

I saw most of the code are under net/mac80211/ but the rests are everywhere..

Are there any design documents that show the code structure or describe usage of each part?

And open mesh you mentioned is that Batman project? LOL

Look into net/wireless/ for the code as well. Probably you can look into the mesh related commits to figure out how it works. Open mesh here means that no SAE (security) support for L2 mesh, nothing to do with the L3 mesh.
