* If the receive frame format is not the same as the real frame sent
|

* on the wireless media (e.g., due to padding etc.), upper layer 802.11 code
|
||||
* could be updated to provide support for such format assuming this would
|

* optimize the performance, e.g., by removing need to re-allocation and
|

* copying of the data.
|
||||
* As a general rule, when frames are passed between mac80211 and the driver,
|
||||
* they start with the IEEE 802.11 header and include the same octets that are
|
||||
* sent over the air except for the FCS which should be calculated by the
|
||||
* hardware.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
|
||||
* where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
|
||||
* the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Finally, for received frames, the driver is able to indicate that it has
|
||||
* filled a radiotap header and put that in front of the frame; if it does
|
||||
* not do so then mac80211 may add this under certain circumstances.

* The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given

|
||||
* be used only for transmission.

* Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
