Questions about my idea (for gsoc)

[Andrea Laisa]

I'm not sure what project i'm looking to apply, maybe a netdev driver? 
Or two network protocol driver with a userspace daemon/utilities to 
control the antenna? Or just a userspace daemon/utilities.
I don't have a clear idea where I should write the code that controls 
the antenna.
