32 * DOC: Frame transmission/registration support
34 * Frame transmission and registration support exists to allow userspace
35 * entities such as wmediumd to receive and process all broadcasted
36 * frames from a mac80211_hwsim radio device.
38 * This allow user space applications to decide if the frame should be
39 * dropped or not and implement a wireless medium simulator at user space.
41 * Registration is done by sending a register message to the driver and
42 * will be automatically unregistered if the user application doesn't
43 * responds to sent frames.
44 * Once registered the user application has to take responsibility of
45 * broadcasting the frames to all listening mac80211_hwsim radio
