Hello, I have a question about monitor mode and the monitor interface: When will a frame show up in the monitor interface? If I understand 802.11 correctly, there will first be a Request to Send (RTS), then a Clear to Send (CTS) signal. Then the actual frame will be send followed by an ACK. I did some testing and it seems, that the frame shows up in the monitoring interface after the ACK is received. My test setup was to record the socket.send call of an UDP packet with an unique ID and then measure the time it takes for that packet to be read on the monitor interface. As the measured time was not constant, but seemed to vary in relation to the network conditions I suppose that the frame only shows up after its delivery was acknowledged. Is this observation correct and where in the kernel's source (or elsewhere) should I look for more details? Thank you for your time and best regards, Severin -- 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
