ath9k: packets sent twice 1Mbps & 54Mbps

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

 



Hi all,
I'm using:
Ubuntu 9.10
Atheros card with ath9k
compat-wireless latest stable version
ad-hoc 802.11g with 2 nodes (same hardware & software configuration)

I tried to inject packets using mac80211 (similar way as in packetspammer)
Radiotap header contains only Flag=0 & Rate=1Mbps (total size = 14 bytes)
However when I use wireshark to capture traffic, I discovered that
each frame was sent twice:
first time with 14 bytes radiotap header
second time with 13 bytes of radiotap header (Rate omitted), so 54Mbps here.

Is this a problem of ath9k or a default feature of 802.11 ???

Another question: if I set the FCS flag to send frame with all zeros
FCS, the receiver reported frame as bad FCS, but still deliver it to
upper layer. Why? I think the frame should be discarded ? I want to
simulate broken phy link by jamming FCS. Is there any alternative way
?

Hope some one can help.

Thank you.

Anthony
