This is the actual architecture or there are some differences in 2015? If yes, where i can find the new version of this page, with a little diagram? Ciao Stefano, Perhaps Johannes can post a current overview diagram on the Linux wireless wiki (if you share with him which diagram you want to be updated). In terms of vendor-specific architecture, and how it fits in, Kalle Valo posted a high-level diagram for ath10k: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath10k/architecture Are you mainly interested in the architecture of vendor-agnostic upper layers or a description of a specific vendor driver? kg
