linux.git/net/mac802154/rx.c, branch v3.9 Linux kernel source tree mac802154: add wpan device-class support 2012-06-27T04:06:11+00:00 alex.bluesman.smirnov@gmail.com alex.bluesman.smirnov@gmail.com 2012-06-25T23:24:48+00:00 32bad7e30f113a8a5cebe4704bf6519ab4383e1b Every real 802.15.4 transceiver, which works with software MAC layer, can be classified as a wpan device in this stack. So the wpan device implementation provides missing link in datapath between the device drivers and the Linux network queue. According to the IEEE 802.15.4 standard each packet can be one of the following types: - beacon - MAC layer command - ACK - data This patch adds support for the data packet-type only, but this is enough to perform data transmission and receiving over radio.

Every real 802.15.4 transceiver, which works with software MAC layer,
can be classified as a wpan device in this stack. So the wpan device
implementation provides missing link in datapath between the device
drivers and the Linux network queue.

According to the IEEE 802.15.4 standard each packet can be one of the
following types:
 - beacon
 - MAC layer command
 - ACK
 - data

This patch adds support for the data packet-type only, but this is
enough to perform data transmission and receiving over radio.

mac802154: monitor device support 2012-05-16T19:17:08+00:00 alex.bluesman.smirnov@gmail.com alex.bluesman.smirnov@gmail.com 2012-05-15T20:50:29+00:00 0606069d9ef538687957d41ed6387d665af7a643 Support for monitor device intended to capture all the network activity. This interface could be used by networks sniffers and is already supported by WireShark. That's a good test point to check that basic MAC support works.
