Hi All,
I need to access the airport card in a low level fashion. I saw no
documentation for this in Apple's side or Xcode and thought this
means that Apple simply wants to block access to the hardware but I
digging in the 10.4 sdk I stumbled across this folder:
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/
Kernel.framework/Versions/A/Headers/IOKit/apple80211/
The headers in this folder seem to document the interface for the
driver but I can't figure out how this helps me to actually
communicate with the driver from user space.
Specifically
1. I read about user clients and I was able to get a connection with
the driver but I have no idea how to figure out the method indexes
needed for IOConnectMethod
2. How can I utilize the information in "apple80211_ioctl.h"? Is
there a call I can pass the defined values to?
3. If accessing the driver from user space is not possible, would the
headers help me accessing it from the kernel?
This is the first time I've tried to communicate with a driver and I
suspect I'm missing some basic piece of information here so please
forgive my ignorance.
TIA
Eyal
