hello list,

i want to write a userland program for sending ieee80211 mgmt packets. this=
 idea is not new, first seen around 2002 by dachb0denlabs with openbsd kern=
el patches.=20
(ok, first seen, there was this linux lib by packetfactory ;)
the last years more and more stuff was released in the linux sector, void11=
...bla...

i didn't have succ. with porting of the dachb0denlabs kernel patches for op=
enbsd to freebsd(around 2002), the beast did sent out s.o.m.e.t.h.i.n.g but=
 not realy what i wanted it to.

so now its time for me to try it aggain.

well, i think the most answers i might get here to this post ll be somethin=
g like, "uargh, dude - the kernel handels this stuff, and this it good, so =
leave it as it is", "guess why you can't do ifunit() from userland"... etc.

I TOTALY AGREE WITH THAT ! ;)

so i need a Quick/Fast/Dirty hack for this purpose, using or rape most of t=
he "already there" kernel functions like ieee80211_send_mgmt().

- please, any ideas (where to place the scalpel) best ?
- would it be easier to patch the bpf write, so that it supports not only E=
thernet and Slip writes Links ?

ps. i lost the dachb0denlabs patches over the years, i think they've never =
been officialy released, so it might also help if anyone can make them avar=
ible for me...

pps. sorry for bad english

ANY ideas welcome
