\page driver_wrapper Driver wrapper implementation (driver.h, drivers.c)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All hardware and driver dependent functionality is in separate C files
|
||
|
|
that implement defined wrapper functions. Other parts
|
||
|
|
of the hostapd are designed to be hardware, driver, and operating
|
||
|
|
system independent.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Driver wrappers need to implement whatever calls are used in the
|
||
|
|
target operating system/driver for controlling wireless LAN
|
||
|
|
devices. As an example, in case of Linux, these are mostly some glue
|
||
|
|
code and ioctl() calls and netlink message parsing for Linux Wireless
|
||
|
|
Extensions (WE). Since features required for WPA were added only recently to
|
||
|
|
Linux Wireless Extensions (in version 18), some driver specific code is used
|
||
|
|
in number of driver interface implementations. These driver dependent parts
|
||
|
|
can be replaced with generic code in driver_wext.c once the target driver
|
||
|
|
includes full support for WE-18. After that, all Linux drivers, at
|
||
|
|
least in theory, could use the same driver wrapper code.
