I don't know what time constraints you refer to here, but clients should stay awake until they have received a multicast/broadcast message with the moredata bit disabled. So, in theory, it doesn't matter even if the frames are transmitted even 20 ms after the beacon. (In practise some hardware might have timers for this, I think at least wl1251 had one.) Of course the downside is the increased power consumption. But it's still better than to not receive the multicast/broadcast frames at all :) -- Kalle Valo -- 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
