WFx FMAC Driver

The WFx FMAC driver is a software resource meant to allow a host to communicate with the WFx Wi-Fi transceiver. The API exposed by the driver gives control over the WFx Wi-Fi capabilities. In addition, the API enables data transfer at the IP level. This means that the host requires an IP stack if it wants to send/receive Ethernet frames.

In this section, both the FMAC driver and the requirements for the host running it are described:

• Initialization and Configuration
• Host Requirements
• Device Power Save Mechanism
