I know that the brcmsmac supports only the monitoring mode. Since there is only partial support from brcmsmac, i would like to patch to support injection. Since iam a beginner, i don't know how to start the driver developement. Can you please provide some documentation so that it would be helpful in my development? -- Regards, Sheerapthinath OS
