This file defines an interface for layer 2 (link layer) packet sending and receiving. l2_packet_linux.c is one implementation for such a layer 2 implementation using Linux packet sockets and l2_packet_pcap.c another one using libpcap and libdnet. When porting wpa_supplicant to other operating systems, a new l2_packet implementation may need to be added.

void l2_packet_deinit | ( | struct l2_packet_data * | l2 | ) |
Deinitialize l2_packet interface.
l2 | Pointer to internal l2_packet data from l2_packet_init() |

int l2_packet_get_ip_addr | ( | struct l2_packet_data * | l2, | |
char * | buf, | |||
size_t | len | |||
) |
Get the current IP address from the interface.
l2 | Pointer to internal l2_packet data from l2_packet_init() | |
buf | Buffer for the IP address in text format | |
len | Maximum buffer length |
This function can be used to get the current IP address from the interface bound to the l2_packet. This is mainly for status information and the IP address will be stored as an ASCII string. This function is not essential for wpa_supplicant operation, so full implementation is not required. l2_packet implementation will need to define the function, but it can return -1 if the IP address information is not available.

int l2_packet_get_own_addr | ( | struct l2_packet_data * | l2, | |
u8 * | addr | |||
) |
Get own layer 2 address.
l2 | Pointer to internal l2_packet data from l2_packet_init() | |
addr | Buffer for the own address (6 bytes) |

const u8 * | own_addr, | |||
unsigned short | protocol, | |||
void(*)(void *ctx, const u8 *src_addr, const u8 *buf, size_t len) | rx_callback, | |||
void * | rx_callback_ctx, | |||
int | l2_hdr | |||
) | [read] |
Initialize l2_packet interface.
ifname | Interface name | |
own_addr | Optional own MAC address if available from driver interface or NULL if not available | |
protocol | Ethernet protocol number in host byte order | |
rx_callback | Callback function that will be called for each received packet | |
rx_callback_ctx | Callback data (ctx) for calls to rx_callback() | |
l2_hdr | 1 = include layer 2 header, 0 = do not include header |
rx_callback function will be called with src_addr pointing to the source address (MAC address) of the the packet. If l2_hdr is set to 0, buf points to len bytes of the payload after the layer 2 header and similarly, TX buffers start with payload. This behavior can be changed by setting l2_hdr=1 to include the layer 2 header in the data buffer.

void l2_packet_notify_auth_start | ( | struct l2_packet_data * | l2 | ) |
Notify l2_packet about start of authentication.
l2 | Pointer to internal l2_packet data from l2_packet_init() |
This function is called when authentication is expected to start, e.g., when association has been completed, in order to prepare l2_packet implementation for EAPOL frames. This function is used mainly if the l2_packet code needs to do polling in which case it can increasing polling frequency. This can also be an empty function if the l2_packet implementation does not benefit from knowing about the starting authentication.

Send a packet.
l2 | Pointer to internal l2_packet data from l2_packet_init() | |
dst_addr | Destination address for the packet (only used if l2_hdr == 0) | |

buf | Packet contents to be sent; including layer 2 header if l2_hdr was set to 1 in l2_packet_init() call. Otherwise, only the payload of the packet is included. | |
len | Length of the buffer (including l2 header only if l2_hdr == 1) |
