This includes, for example, + * certain classes of action frames that cannot be handled in the kernel + * for various reasons. + * + * Frame registration is done on a per-interface basis and registrations + * cannot be removed other than by closing the socket. It is possible to + * specify a registration filter to register, for example, only for a + * certain type of action frame. In particular with action frames, those + * that userspace registers for will not be returned as unhandled by the + * driver, so that the registered application has to take responsibility + * for doing that. + * + * The type of frame that can be registered for is also dependent on the + * driver and interface type. The frame types are advertised in wiphy + * attributes so applications know what to expect. + * + * NOTE: When an interface changes type while registrations are active, + * these registrations are ignored until the interface type is + * changed again. This means that changing the interface type can + * lead to a situation that couldn't otherwise be produced, but + * any such registrations will be dormant in the sense that they + * will not be serviced, i.e. they will not receive any frames. + * + * Frame transmission allows userspace to send for example the required + * responses to action frames. It is subject to some sanity checking, + * but many frames can be transmitted.
