53 functions process received 802.11 frames.
58 function takes an mbuf chain
60 containing a complete 802.11 frame from the driver
62 and passes it to the software 802.11 stack for input processing.
65 argument specifies an instance of
66 .Vt struct ieee80211_node
67 (which may be driver-specific) representing the node from which the
73 are typically derived from on-card data structures; they are used for
74 recording the signal strength and time received of the frame respectively.
79 function performs decapsulation of the 802.11 frame in the mbuf chain
81 received by the device
83 taking the form of the 802.11 address fields into account;
84 the structure of 802.11 addresses vary according to the intended
85 source and destination of the frame.
