Radiotap是一個標準，用于802.11的幀接收(framereception)和幀注入(frameinjection)所謂的幀接收，就是硬件（網(wǎng)卡）用中斷通知CPU，一個數(shù)據(jù)幀到了，要CPU去接收。一般是在將無線網(wǎng)卡設置為混雜模式的時候，底層接受到數(shù)據(jù)幀之后，不處理，而是直接傳送給上層處理，一般用于分析無線網(wǎng)絡數(shù)據(jù)傳輸?shù)臅r候，分析網(wǎng)絡問題到底出現(xiàn)在哪。CodestructureMostimportantfordriverauthors:include/net/mac80211.hThisfiledefinestheAPItomac80211frombelow.CodestructureAllfilesexcepttheheaderfileareinnet/mac80211/.Kconfig,Makefilebuildsystemieee80211i.hmostinternaldatastructuresmain.cmainmoduleentrypointsmainentrypointsfordrivercalls(reg/dereg)iface.cvirtualinterfacehandlingkey.c,key.hkeymanagementstainfo.c,stainfo.hStation(peer)managementpm.cpowermanagement(suspend/hibernate)rate.c,rate.hinternalratecontrolfunctionsrc80211*ratecontrolalgorithmsrx.cframereceivepathtx.cframetransmitpathscan.csoftwarescanningcodeCodestructureht.c,agg-rx.c,agg-tx.cHT/aggregationcodemesh{,hwmp,plink,pathtbl}.{c,h}802.11smeshmlme.cStation/managedmodeMLMEibss.cIBSSMLMEcfg.c,cfg.h,wext.cconfigurationentrypointsevent.ceventstouserspacespectmgmt.cspectrummanagementcodeaes*,tkip.*,wep.*,michael.*,wpa.*WPA/RSN/WEPcodewme.c,wme.hsomeQoScodeutil.cutilityfunctionsled.c,led.hLEDhandlingdebugfs*debugfscodeDatastructuresieee80211_local/ieee80211_hwsta_info/ieee80211_staieee80211_confieee80211_bss_confieee80211_key/ieee80211_key_confieee80211_tx_infoieee80211_rx_statusieee80211_sub_if_data/ieee80211_vifieee80211_local/ieee80211_hweachinstanceofthese(hwisembeddedintolocal)represents
