NAME

ieee80211_beacon_get - beacon generation function

SYNOPSIS

struct sk_buff * ieee80211_beacon_get(struct ieee80211_hw * hw, struct ieee80211_vif * vif, struct ieee80211_tx_control * control);

ARGUMENTS

hw

pointer obtained from ieee80211_alloc_hw.

vif


struct ieee80211_vif pointer from struct ieee80211_if_init_conf.

control

will be filled with information needed to send this beacon.

DESCRIPTION

If the beacon frames are generated by the host system (i.e., not in hardware/firmware), the low-level driver uses this function to receive the next beacon frame from the 802.11 code. The low-level is responsible for calling this function before beacon data is needed (e.g., based on hardware interrupt). Returned skb is used only once and low-level driver is responsible of freeing it.
