madwifi 信道切换

正常的切换过程：

cmd "switch channel " -> ioctl() -> system kernal -> ieee80211_ioctl_siwfreq() : {     }

 

To reduce channel switch delay , modifications are made to madwifi driver code.

Ｉwill display what I found out according NetX's codes

1. struct ieee80211com {       ......       /*在此结构体内添加一个切换函数指针*/       #ifdef CCK_NOASSOC /* No Association */       void (*ic_chan_set)(struct ieee80211com *,       struct ieee80211_channel *);       #endif /* CCK_NOASSOC */       .......       } 在函数 ath_attach（） 中，ic_chan_set 被指向为 ath_chan_wrapper（） 【见右边】 该函数很简单，如下： #ifdef CCK_NOASSOC /* No Association */ static void ath_chan_wrapper (struct ieee80211com *ic, struct ieee80211_channel *chan) { struct net_device *dev = ic->ic_dev; struct ath_softc *sc = dev->priv; (void)ath_chan_set(sc, chan); } #endif /* CCK_NOASSOC */ 只有三行，直接调用ath_chan_set（）函数。

###### # # # # # #   in func ath_attach（）： #ifdef CCK_NOASSOC /* CCK Tx unproc */ sc->sc_txunproc = 0; sc->sc_maxtxunproc = 0; ic->ic_chan_set = ath_chan_wrapper; #endif /* CCK_NOASSOC */ # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
