Sending raw IEEE 802.11 frames. #1657

Is it possible to send raw IEEE 802.11 frames with the cyw43 driver?

xoviat commented 1 year ago

Yes and no. You can operate on the raw net driver but if you do that, you won't be able to use smoltcp

That's raw Ethernet frames though, not 802.11. I don't know if the hardware is capable of that, and if it is it is not implemented. Pull requests welcome :)

I would guess the hardware is capable of that, since other chips like the esp32 also have it. On that note, why are there references to the awdl protocol in the events for the cyw43 driver? As far as I'm aware only Broadcom chips have that.
