Standard Protocol to communicate with embedded device over 801.11a
 

Dear All,
I am quite new to embedded linux and have a question that is there any standard protocol to communicated with embedded device over WLAN. Actually i am doing a small project where a user sends control message to embedded device using WLAN interface, and in responce to it the device does functions and sends replies to the user accordingly.

Thanks in advance,

regards,

I assume you are referring to the ieee802.11a standard protocol.

Normally you would implement a listener program on your embedded device that will react to data send to it from another system.
For example: putting a lightweight web server on your embedded device and have it react to get/post request from a webbrowser.

Cheers
