Hi Michael,
I think my sniffer (WireShark) is catching all the traffic coming out from
the AP
including management frames and data. As a setup sniffer is listening wlan0
and mon.wlan0
interfaces in promiscuous mode.
During my testing there is no data traffic at all, if I keep my other AP
(ZyXel modem/router/wifi)
not connected to any client. In that case I can see polling records from
ZyXel, including ARP queries
and 802.11 type queries.
ZyXEL 802.11 polling’s are including correct SSID from this Access Point.
Same time interleaved with this ZyXEL AP queries my Raspberry Pi/Hostapd
is sending out ARP polling queries
(only mac and IP addresses included) but never those bit longer 802.11
queries,
which are containing among other things SSID of the broadcasting AP.
From the Hostap source code I’ve been trying to identify, which are the
preconditions and timing
for 802.11 type broadcast beacons, but so far without success.
Thank you for your attention - any comments are really welcome .
Regards
Pertti Niinimäki
ps. Some problems with plain text messages (not HTML) and keeping message
thread
together :)
