IEEE802.11

Does the kernel source code has the IEEE802.11 source code? Which
directory is it located?
Thanks.

In addition, using 'locate -i ieee802' or/and 'find ...' on the
kernel source dir looks like good start to me. ;-)

The ieee802.11 code is in net/ieee80211. The drivers that use it are in drivers/net/wireless.

Likely, the purpose of my contribution was to enable the OP
finding things using standard tools. So he can adapt on the next
problem, where do I find "blah ...", without needing to post.
IMHO this is how usenet works.

Thanks. My system does not have it. Below is some information:
../src/linux-2.6.11.12/net/802
../src/linux-2.6.11.12/net/802/p8022.c
../src/linux-2.6.11.12/net/802/p8023.c
../src/linux-2.6.11.12/net/802/sysctl_net_802.c
../src/linux-2.6.11.12/net/802/.p8023.o.cmd
../src/linux-2.6.11.12/net/802/sysctl_net_802.o
../src/linux-2.6.11.12/net/802/p8023.o
../src/linux-2.6.11.12/net/802/.p8022.o.cmd
../src/linux-2.6.11.12/net/802/.sysctl_net_802.o.cmd
../src/linux-2.6.11.12/net/802/p8022.o
../src/linux-2.6.11.12/net/8021q

My system has drivers/net/wireless, such as wavelan.c.

The code was added later than 2.6.11. If you want to see the code and work with it, you should grab
a copy of the 2.6.17 source. The wireless drivers in 2.6.11 implement their own version of the
802.11 stack.

Thanks a lot. Other than installing the latest version, how can I get
the source code?
Download the latest version, then untar it?

That should work. What do you plan to do with it? If you want to build it for the 2.6.11 kernel, at
least the Makefile and Kconfig will need some work.

Thanks. I plan to study the source code of IEEE802.11 and wireless
driver. If possible, I want to make some change to it. Could you give
me some suggestions?
