Hi All,



I=E2=80=99m planning to learn the Linux WiFi kernel stack.

I=E2=80=99d like to know what happens in the background in the kernel when =
I
connect to WiFi.

How does a packet travels all the way from my application to kernel to
air and back.



Right now I don=E2=80=99t have any WiFi dongle, can someone suggest any pro=
ven
WiFi dongle which can be used to test with Linux kernel.

Thanks,
Sekhar
