Hello, I've been digging in /sys/net80211 trying to find where things like beacons are created and sent down to the driver. I found in ieee80211.h where the non-data frames are defined and I can see in the different device drivers where the frames are handled. But, for example, when you start an adhoc network or a hostap node, beacon frames are sent out. Where are these beacon frames constructed? My goal is to define a new non-data frame similar to the beacon, except add space for a small payload. I think I can add handling to the device driver, but as I said, I can't figure out where the frames should start. Thanks, Sam
