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