[PATCH] brcmfmac: support monitor frames with hardware/ucode header

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

 



From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@xxxxxxxxxx>

The new FullMAC firmwares for 4366b1/4366c0 were supposed to provide
monitor frames with radiotap header but it doesn't seem to be the case.
Testing the latest release resulted in discovering a new format being
used. It seems (almost?) identical to the one known from ucode used in
SoftMAC devices which is most likely the same codebase anyway.

While radiotap support was meant to be announced with the "rtap" fw
capability string it seems no alternative was added for the hw/ucode
format. It means each firmware requires a feature mapping quirk.

As for now only an empty radiotap is being created. Adding support for
extracting some info (band, channel, signal, etc.) is planned for the
future.
