mac80211 and broadcast frames

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

 



Hi,

I've been working on a small project that basically sends broadcast UDP frames from an Wireless AP to multiple clients. While I can send UDP frames just fine from the AP to the client the only a few broadcast frames reach my client. What is really puzzling is that on the client machine using tcpdump I can see all the broadcast frames arriving, my application sees only a small fraction of them.

* I have suspected some bug in the application, but the same app using the same computers works fine when using wired ethernet. * I have used both 2.6.30 and the latest wireless-testing kernels, the results are the same
* I have used the latest hostapd in AP mode
* I did the same tests in ad-hoc mode, the results are the same
* I used both atheros and intel wireless cards, the problem is not related to the wireless drivers.

Any ideea what I'm doing wrong?


Thanks,
Valentin
