Hi, I have noticed that when a WNIC running an IBSS network receives a frame from an unfamiliar station, it (after adding the station ) sends an Authentication frame before it's able to receive the intended frame. This seems like unnecessary behavior and I am wondering - is there a way to somehow prevent this from user space? Or pre-add a particular station, so that it wont go into ieee80211_ibss_rx_no_sta upon receival? Or more generally is there a way to prevent authentication frames being sent out alltogether from non-encrypted IBSS (since it's not required by the standard)? The reason I want to know about this is because I am trying to see if it is possible to have minimal exchange of frames ( only useful information ) with linux 80211 capabilites. I'm guessing that this happens in this case, as well as the regular IBSS join case, when this part of code is executed : lxr.free-electrons.com/source/net/mac80211/ibss.c?v=3.10#L328 I am using Kernel Version 3.10.25 Thank you very much, Tara -- 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
