How to Write a timer in mac80211

How can I write a timer in mac80211 to periodic send a Frame?

And how can I call the other function by tra开发者_StackOverflow中文版nsmit the corresponding parameters ?

Thanks all!

Checking my Ubuntu's clock sources:

cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource hpet acpi_pm

As possibly the outdated RTC, these are all the possible clock sources available.

the mac80211 hardware does not have the timer functionality - NORMALLY.....cannot generalize for all.

Anyway, given these available clocksource, just have to a register an event with the timer to wake periodically to send out data via mac80211.

For example, use this as a base:
