1.1.10 Client - Bypass Mode APIs

This interface allows the application to send and receive layer 2 (Ethernet) data frames, bypassing the WINCS02 device's in-built network layer 3 (IP).

The WINCS02 device's in-built network layer 3 can be disabled using the l2Only flag in the WDRV_WINC_CONN_CFG Struct in the Wi-Fi Configuration API. This should be done before starting Soft-AP or BSS Connect.

To send layer 2 data frames the application calls WDRV_WINC_L2DataFrameSend with the network interface index, data pointer and length of data.

To receive layer 2 data frames the application calls WDRV_WINC_L2DataMonitorCallbackSet to register a WDRV_WINC_L2DATA_MONITOR_CALLBACK type callback function. This callback function receives the network interface index, data pointer and length of the data.
