I propose 2 solutions Well, you can say "ignore protected bit (with IV)" in the settings of wireshark. But I agree that this is cumbersome, and previously floated the idea of addings bits to radiotap to make this auto-detected. > Radiotap and Wireshark: > > 1) Add 2 flags to the radiotap RX Flags (HW Decrypted the packet, > Packet has security Header (for some chipsets which consume the > security header as well..??).) > > Based on these the wireshark dissector decodes the packet accordingly. > > mac80211: > > 2) Remove the security header information in the monitor path as well > based on the existing RX_FLAGS. > > > Solutions 2 looks more elegant and simple, any comments? Solution 2 drops information and makes the kernel code more expensive, so I don't think we want that. I think the radiotap bits would be better. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
