* mac80211: Parse legacy and HT rate in injected framesSven Eckelmann2016-02-241-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Drivers/devices without their own rate control algorithm can get the information what rates they should use from either the radiotap header of injected frames or from the rate control algorithm. But the parsing of the legacy rate information from the radiotap header was removed in commit e6a9854b05c1 ("mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API"). The removal of this feature heavily reduced the usefulness of frame injection when wanting to simulate specific transmission behavior. Having rate parsing together with MCS rates and retry support allows a fine grained selection of the tx behavior of injected frames for these kind of tests.

* mac80211: update injection documentationJohannes Berg2009-04-221-22/+6
| | | | | | | | | We don't currently support antenna or rate setting, so remove that. Also update the link -- the current one is dead and the wiki can be kept updated easier. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* [MAC80211]: improve radiotap injectionJohannes Berg2007-10-101-6/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | This improves radiotap injection by removing the shortcut over TX handlers that led to BUGS when injecting frames without setting a rate and also resulted in various other quirks. Now, TX handlers are run but some information that was present in the radiotap header is used instead of automatic settings.
