Subject: [mac80211] hooking all 802.11 packets to user space without conversion

Hi,

I would like to know if 802.11 packets could be hooked from the mac80211
module to the user space.

Basically, I run a module that needs the 802.11 pkts without converting
them to 802.3.

I am able to register for MLME pkts but not sure whether I can register for
data pkts and get them to user space.



Please clarify.

Would be very helpful if you could get back ASAP.



thanks and regards,

-shankar
