Dear Johannes,
To port ath_pci to wlan(d80211) module and make it one module might be a
possible solution. But you know, ath_pci has some dependency and some binary
crap(HAL)
More over, I need only an signal (e.g. by calling a funciton) in the ath_pci
module when a data frame is sending out from the card(as AP)
We know struct net_device has a member pointer to a method called
hard_start_xmit that initiates the transmission through the device.
Wlan module already assigned a function ("ieee80211_hardstart" ) to this
pointer
hard_start_xmit. It uses dev_queue_xmit() to transmit outgoing data frame
from
AP.
Is it possible to assign another function in different module, e.g.
ath_pci I need to call this function when transmit data frame, but in
practice,
this function will not send any data frame, e.g. wont use dev_queue_xmit.
Or is any other way to get an indication in ath_pci module that an outgoing
data
frame is gonna send out?
Any suggestions to do that please ?
regards,
Frank

No, you don't. Period. Either wlan provides services to ath_pci, or they
should be one module. Besides, why don't you port atheros drivers to
d80211 instead? And how about showing code? :)
