Hi Developers,

I believe wireless NICs would be able to handle higher amount of data in
future and bringing in support of DPDK for wireless NICs earlier would be
beneficial to the wireless community. I would like to work on this.

Could you please share some light on how to proceed further. Whether this
is a feasible idea and what might be the benefits and cons.

Linux has the mac80211 framework helping 802.11 driver developers.
Suggestion on how to use this mac80211 framework along with DPDK would be
useful for me to proceed further.

Thanks,
Arun
