Read VLAN Tag in mac80211

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear all,

I am having trouble reading a VLAN tag inside mac80211. I believe the tag is in the packet because I can see it in wireshark. This is a simple test code that I am using in tx.c:

#include <linux/if_vlan.h>

...
        unsigned short TCI;
        unsigned short id;
...

// Checking if VLAN tag is present
        if(vlan_tx_tag_present(skb)){
                TCI = vlan_tx_tag_get (skb);
                id = TCI & VLAN_VID_MASK;
                printk ("VLAN detection:  Detected frame with VLAN ID = %x \n", id);
        }
        else{
                printk ("VLAN detection:  No VLAN Tag detected but skb->vlan_tci is %x \n", skb->vlan_tci);
        }

The previous code always fails to enter the VLAN present case, and goes to the else condition printing a skb->vlan_tci value of zero, whereas I can see in wireshark a frame with a VLAN tag and VLAN ID=1.

Can anyone help me figure out what I am missing here?

Best Regards

Daniel
