<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:100%">I am trying to
understand hostapd source code since some days and i struck with following questions in my
mind. I checked the developer documentation before coming here. Also i don't have driver experience before.<br></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:100%">

<ol><li> I learnt that,
driver specific functionality will be written in driver_xxx.c in
src/drivers directory. But what is the difference between
driver_nl80211.c( This is for configuring wireless adapter using
netlink) and driver_hostap.c Do we have to use both for a wireless
adapter ? Suppose if device supports cfg80211, then also do we need
driver_hostap.c</li><li>How driver_nl802.11.c functions will be triggered ?<br></li><li>How the config information from hostapd.conf will be passed to wireless driver stack ?</li></ol><p>Thanks in advance,</p><p>PBR<br></p>
