Hello, I am working with madwifi driver and I have a question. I am trying to implement a 802.16 style MAC to go with 802.11a PHY. Would it be possible to program the 802.16 MAC functionality on top of this HAL using a 802.11a card. My thinking is that since HAL os just an API and actual MAC/PHY layer firmware or software is on the chip, it wont be possible. Where should I look in the CVS respository for the details of 802.11 MAC implimentation? I mean what files do actually implement MAC functionality. Can i develop C code that will have 802.16 functionality and run it with HAL without actually being able to access the atheros source code. I am little confused. please help me.
