Hello,

Is it possible to hacking some wireless NIC driver (carl9170 for example)
to enable netmap on it? I guess this is possible because wireless drivers
also manage packets using ring buffers. My goal is to access the raw
packets as quickly as possible, not to achieve high data rate. Is there any
argument against doing so? Thank you.

Regards,
Chao
