NAME

6       ieee80211_rx - receive frame
7

SYNOPSIS

9       void ieee80211_rx(struct ieee80211_hw * hw, struct sk_buff * skb);
10

ARGUMENTS

12       hw
13           the hardware this frame came in on
14
15       skb
16           the buffer to receive, owned by mac80211 after this call
17

DESCRIPTION

19       Use this function to hand received frames to mac80211. The receive
20       buffer in skb must start with an IEEE 802.11 header. In case of a paged
21       skb is used, the driver is recommended to put the ieee80211 header of
22       the frame on the linear part of the skb to avoid memory allocation
23       and/or memcpy by the stack.
24
25       This function may not be called in IRQ context. Calls to this function
26       for a single hardware must be synchronized against each other. Calls to
27       this function, ieee80211_rx_ni and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe may not be
28       mixed for a single hardware.
29
30       In process context use instead ieee80211_rx_ni.
