CONTROLLING A PARAVIRTUALIZED WIRELESS INTERFACE FROM A GUEST VIRTUAL MACHINE
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a frame of data for a wireless service through a wireless interface of a host device using a processor;
if the frame of data is associated with a first type of category, processing the frame of data through a first standard interface associated with a first standard of communication;
if the frame of data is associated with a second type of category, processing the frame through a second standard interface associated with a second standard of communication; and
sending the frame of data processed through the first standard interface or the second standard interface to a guest running on the host device, wherein a virtual wireless interface associated the guest that is emulating the wireless interface of the host device converts the frame of data processed through the first standard interface to the second standard of communication.

Abstract
A method, system and an apparatus to paravirtualize a wireless interface is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method receives a frame of data for a wireless service through a wireless interface of a host device using a processor. If the frame of data is associated with a first type of category, the frame of data is processed through a first standard interface. If the frame of data is associated with a second type of category, the frame is processed through a second standard interface. The method then sends the frame of data processed through the first standard interface or the second standard interface to a guest. A virtual wireless interface associated the guest that is emulating the wireless interface of the host device converts the frame of data processed through the first standard interface to the second standard of communication.
