Mac80211 Framework. Nl80211 is the interface between user space software ( iw, wpasupplicant, etc.) and the kernel ( cfg80211 and mac80211 kernel modules, and specific drivers). The WiFi drivers and hardware could be Full-MAC or Soft-MAC (see Wirelessnetworkinterfacecontroller). Cfg80211ops is a set of operations that Full-MAC drivers. This patch enables drivers to implement mac address based access control in AP/P2P GO mode. There is a new flag in nl80211apsmefeatures (NL80211APSMEFEATUREMACACL) for drivers to advertise this capability. . cfg80211 is the configuration API for 802.11 devices in Linux. It bridges. userspace and drivers, and offers some utility functionality associated. with 802.11. Cfg80211 must, directly or indirectly via mac80211, be used. by all modern wireless drivers in Linux, so that they offer a consistent. API through nl80211.
This article deals with 802.11 wireless. OpenWrt supports other wireless devices too, seeBluetooth, 802.15.4 (r45348) or RTL-SDR (RTL-SDR on TL-WR703n) Realtek 8821ae wireless lan 802.11 ac driver windows 10.
Introduction
Linux Wireless is the source for documentation regarding the entire Linux Kernel IEEE 802.11 ('wireless') subsystem. It is a wiki like this one, so feel free to contribute there as well! Everything not OpenWrt specific, belongs there. This page is an exception, as I believe I can provide a better introduction.
- IEEE 802.3 is a family of communication protocols comprising Layer 1 and Layer 2 Sublayer MAC
- IEEE 802.11 is a family of communication protocols also comprising Layer 1 and Layer 2 Sublayer MAC
- IEEE 802.11 has no official name; so most people simply call it 'wireless' or 'wavelan' or
wifi(note that Wi-Fi is a brand name) - The support for IEEE 802.11 in the Linux-Kernel is fragmented: this means there are two frames (WEXT=deprecated, cfg80211 + nl80211=current) and multiple drivers, e.g.
- for some broadcom WNICs, there are also three drivers available: broadcom proprietary drivers (
broadcom-wl), broadcom mac80211-based drivers (theb43) and the brcmSmac- and brcmFmac drivers- to set up and configure wireless utilities are available, however on OpenWrt we rather use UCI:
/etc/config/wirelessand/etc/config/network.
- There are two different types of WNICs to distinguish: SoftMAC and FullMAC devices; also see About mac80211.
- Many drivers might require firmware blobs. Most firmware code is closed source. (Exception carl9170, ath9k_htc)
- In contrast to Ethernet drivers, wireless drivers work in a Wireless Mode of Operation.
Wireless Modes of Operation
→Wireless Modes of Operation→Kernel: Wireless Modes of Operation
Driver support for wireless modes of operation
See what the Linux 802.11 driver for your hardware can and cannot do. Some drivers support only one mode: STA (also called station, client or managed mode) other drivers support multiple modes, some even simultaneously (interface combination):
- →wireless.kernel.org: Driver capabilities: support for Wireless Modes of Operation
- →Wikipedia: Driver capabilities: support for Wireless Modes of Operation
Limitations when combining multiple wireless modes of operation at the same time do exist.
- →Driver limitations when combining multiple wireless modes of operation
Firmware Limitations do exist
Regulation in law
Available Frequencies, Bands and Channels are subject to regulation in each state.Please see: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/wireless/wireless-regdb.git/tree/db.txt
Wireless Drivers in OpenWrt
Wireless drivers are pulled on a more or less regularly basis from wireless-testing and the OpenWrt-patches which are not mainlined yet are adjusted, see e.g. r36939.OpenWrt does not use Kernel drivers. The package is called mac80211.
- tickets on mac80211, better is a custom query in Trac: e.g. custom query
Similar work (brand new drivers for older Kernel) is done by the backports project April 2013 announcement, previously called compat-wireless or compat-driver. OpenWrt does not use this, despite referencing it by name.
Wireless Utilities in OpenWrt
Wireless Tools and Applications available in the OpenWrt repository
- kismet – An IEEE 802.11 network detector, sniffer and intrusion detection system.
- aircrack-ng – Aircrack-ng is the next generation of aircrack with new features
- horst – A scanning and analysis tool for IEEE 802.11 networks and especially IBSS (ad-hoc) mode and mesh networks (OLSR).
Captive portal software available in the OpenWrt repository
nodogsplash | Layer 3 | https://github.com/nodogsplash/nodogsplash |
| NoDogSplash offers a simple way to open a free hotspot providing restricted access to an internet connection. It is another alternative from NoCat which aims to offer captive portal solutions local to the router/gateway and a simplistic setup, user bandwidth control and basic auth/splash page. Nodogsplash is small, well tested, tailored for OpenWrt by its author and can be set up with only one or two config file changes, in contrast Chilli is more complete but complex to set up. | ||
coova-chilli | Layer 2 / Layer 3 | http://www.coova.org/ |
| CoovaChilli is an open source access controller for wireless LAN access points and is based on ChilliSpot. It is used for authenticating users of a wireless (or wired) LAN. It supports web based login (UAM) which is today's standard for public HotSpots and it supports Wireless Protected Access (WPA) which is the standard of the future. Authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) is handled by your favorite RADIUS server. Built on top of Chillispot with several improvements and additions. Includes WISPr support, and much more. Main captive portal solution used in CoovaAP. |
Wireless packages available in the OpenWrt repository
This shall be, but is not, an exhaustive list of all packages in the OpenWrt repository regarding wireless stuff to play with. The installation is always the same opkg install , for documentation regarding the configuration and utilization, search for Howtos in this wiki or in the Internet.

| airpwn | 23618 | Airpwn is a framework for 802.11 (wireless) packet injection. Airpwn listens to incoming wireless packets, and if the data matches a pattern specified in the config files, custom content is injected 'spoofed' from the wireless access point. From the perspective of the wireless client, airpwn becomes the server. |
