Yes, the TBTT is calculated only once after joining the BSS network. Am not sure I understand the proposal. What would the tsf value in set_tsf() be ? 11.1.4 (IEEE802.11-2007) says that the TSF has to be reset to zero on joining an IBSS network. We do that correctly. To calculate the next TBTT, we can't use the HW TSF, since it has just been reset. And the Beacon's timestamp + intval + FUDGE is what we do in ath9k to get the TBTT for this peer, which I think is correct. A sniffer shows the beacon generation being evenly distributed.
