Name

ieee80211_rts_get — RTS frame generation function

Synopsis

void ieee80211_rts_get (struct ieee80211_hw *  hw,
 struct ieee80211_vif *  vif,
 const void *  frame,
 size_t  frame_len,
 const struct ieee80211_tx_control *  frame_txctl,
 struct ieee80211_rts *  rts);

Arguments

hw

pointer obtained from ieee80211_alloc_hw.

vif

struct ieee80211_vif pointer from struct ieee80211_if_init_conf.

frame

pointer to the frame that is going to be protected by the RTS.

frame_len

the frame length (in octets).

frame_txctl

struct ieee80211_tx_control of the frame.

rts

The buffer where to store the RTS frame.

Description

If the RTS frames are generated by the host system (i.e., not in hardware/firmware), the low-level driver uses this function to receive the next RTS frame from the 802.11 code. The low-level is responsible for calling this function before and RTS frame is needed.
