1、無線網絡驅動(ath9k_htc)
ath9k_htc是一個基於USB接口的SoftMAC無線網絡適配器。為了其驅動能正常工作，首先必須調用usb_register來注冊驅動定義的usb_driver，以借助USB Core的力量來處理與USB協議相關的事件。其代碼如下：
[cpp] view
plain copy
static struct usb_driver ath9k_hif_usb_driver = {
.name = KBUILD_MODNAME,
.probe = ath9k_hif_usb_probe,
.disconnect = ath9k_hif_usb_disconnect,
#ifdef CONFIG_PM
.suspend = ath9k_hif_usb_suspend,
.resume = ath9k_hif_usb_resume,
.reset_resume = ath9k_hif_usb_resume,
#endif
.id_table = ath9k_hif_usb_ids,
.soft_unbind = 1,
};
2. 關鍵數據結構1) struct ieee80211_hw: 它包含802.11 PHY的配置和硬件信息
2.1 各層間關鍵數據接口
3、USB無線適配器枚舉過程 當此基於USB接口的無線網絡適配器被枚舉時，ath9k_hif_usb_probe將被調用。其調用流程如下圖所示：
3.1 struct ieee80211_ops 實例 ath9k_htc_ops(驅動實現) ath9k_htc_ops: mac80211通過這些回調函數回調driver的處理函數。ath9k_htc為了接受mac80211的管理，它必須首先向mac80211注冊，以申明自己的存在，從而可以接受mac80211的調用。

.stop = ath9k_htc_stop, // 最後一個被attach到此硬件的net_device被disable之後被調用,之後，不可以接收幀數據
.add_interface = ath9k_htc_add_interface, // 當一個被attach到此硬件的net_device被enable時被調用
.remove_interface = ath9k_htc_remove_interface, // 通知driver一個接口將要going down
.config = ath9k_htc_config, // mac802.11調用它修改硬件配置
.configure_filter = ath9k_htc_configure_filter, // 配置設備的接收過濾器

3.3 struct iw_handler_def 實例 cfg80211_wext_handler(wireless實現)
cfg80211_wext_handler實現了wext要求的ioctl操作，將通過net_device->wireless_handlers->standard[ioctl cmd- SIOCIWFIRST]來進行調用。在net/wireless/wext-compat.c中的定義如下所示：
[cpp] view
plain copy
tatic const iw_handler cfg80211_handlers[] = {
[IW_IOCTL_IDX(SIOCGIWNAME)] = (iw_handler) cfg80211_wext_giwname,
[IW_IOCTL_IDX(SIOCSIWFREQ)] = (iw_handler) cfg80211_wext_siwfreq,

.num_standard = ARRAY_SIZE(cfg80211_handlers),
.standard = cfg80211_handlers,

4、創建並注冊net_device
當執行mac80211_config_ops-> ieee80211_add_iface時，它將創建net_device和對應的ieee80211_sub_if_data, 然後主要做了以下幾件事：
1) 把net_device對應的名字增加到/sys/class/net/目錄下
2) 把新創建的net_device插入到init_net->dev_base_head中
3) 通知上層協議，有一個新的net_device出現了，大家可以使用它了
4) 把新創建的ieee80211_sub_if_data增加到ieee80211_local的interfaces列表中
其流程如下圖所示：
mac80211中定義的net_device_ops ieee80211_dataif_ops，以下這些方法，都有一個struct net_device參數。其具體定義如下：
[cpp] view
plain copy
static const struct net_device_ops ieee80211_dataif_ops = {
.ndo_open = ieee80211_open, // net_device變換到 UP 時被調用
.ndo_stop = ieee80211_stop, // net_device變換到 Down 時被調用
.ndo_uninit = ieee80211_teardown_sdata, // 取消注冊或注冊失敗時調用
.ndo_start_xmit = ieee80211_subif_start_xmit, // 需要發送包時被調用
.ndo_set_multicast_list = ieee80211_set_multicast_list,// 多播地址列表變化時被調用
.ndo_change_mtu = ieee80211_change_mtu, // 當用戶想改變一個設備的MTU時被調用
.ndo_set_mac_address = ieee80211_change_mac, // mac地址需要改變時被調用
.ndo_select_queue = ieee80211_netdev_select_queue, //當net_device支持多個發送隊列時，用來決定使用哪個隊列
};
mac80211中初始化net_device->netdev_ops:
[cpp] view
plain copy
static void ieee80211_if_setup(struct net_device *dev)
{
ether_setup(dev);
dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING;
dev->netdev_ops = &ieee80211_dataif_ops;
dev->destructor = free_netdev;
}
5. 數據接收(Data RX)流程
數據接收流程如下圖所示：
IP層與TCP/UDP層接口定義如下：
[cpp] view
plain copy
static const struct net_protocol tcp_protocol = {
.handler = tcp_v4_rcv,
.err_handler = tcp_v4_err,
.gso_send_check = tcp_v4_gso_send_check,
.gso_segment = tcp_tso_segment,
.gro_receive = tcp4_gro_receive,
.gro_complete = tcp4_gro_complete,
.no_policy = 1,
.netns_ok = 1,
};
static const struct net_protocol udp_protocol = {
.handler = udp_rcv,
.err_handler = udp_err,
.gso_send_check = udp4_ufo_send_check,
.gso_segment = udp4_ufo_fragment,
.no_policy = 1,
.netns_ok = 1,
};
static const struct net_protocol icmp_protocol = {
.handler = icmp_rcv,
.err_handler = ping_err,
.no_policy = 1,
.netns_ok = 1,
};
IP層與net/core層接口定義如下
[cpp] view
plain copy
static struct packet_type ip_packet_type __read_mostly = {
.type = cpu_to_be16(ETH_P_IP),
.func = ip_rcv,
.gso_send_check = inet_gso_send_check,
.gso_segment = inet_gso_segment,
.gro_receive = inet_gro_receive,
.gro_complete = inet_gro_complete,
};
6、數據發送(Data TX)流珵 數據發送流程如下圖所示：
上半部分涉及到的相關代碼如下所示（以上流程主要通過dump_stack獲取）：
net/socket.c
net/ipv4/af_net.c
net/ipv4/tcp.c
net/ipv4/tcp_output.c
net/ipv4/ip_output.c
net/core/neighbour.c
net/core/dev.c
7、INET初始化 INET為Linux OS實現了TCP/IP協議集，它使用BSD Socket接口作為與User通訊的方式。其初始化代碼如下所示：
代碼位於：net/ipv4/af_inet.c
