[Madwifi-devel] Where stats are populated?

[Claudio Rossi]

Dear all,
I am new to madwifi, and I have to implement some modifications on
the drivers for my research.
The first step is to estimate the MAC layer goodput for each station,
both at each station and at the AP for each associated station.
I have seen the data structure in ieee802.11_ioctl.h named
ieee80211_nodestats, that contains several stats but I cannot find the
code where these stats are populated.
Where is the logic? I tried to references to the variable names
without success.
Anyone can give me an hint?
Every form of help is highly appreciated
Thanks

Strange. It's trivial to find. struct ieee80211_nodestats is used in
struct ieee80211_node as the ni_stats field, and there are references
to ni_stats throughout the code.
