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