Hello Again,
I have been studying the network statistics for this problem and
they don't really make sense to me, if I bombard the wireless device
with broadcast packets *RX packets* in ifconfig increases very fast but
*RX bytes* does not. However when I'm doing the same thing over the
wired device both of them increase very fast.
This doesn't really make sense to me, I don't understand where those
packets are going exactly.
Thanks,
Valentin

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
