Hi,

well, that is what i wanted to understand. These are the struct
that I'm using to compose the rediotap header:

struct ieee80211_radiotap_header {
    u_int8_t    it_version;
    u_int8_t    it_pad;
    u_int16_t       it_len;
    u_int32_t       it_present;
} __attribute__((__packed__));

struct click_radiotap_header {
    struct ieee80211_radiotap_header wt_ihdr;
    u_int8_t    wt_rate;
    u_int8_t    wt_txpower;
    u_int8_t        wt_rts_retries;
    u_int8_t        wt_data_retries;
};

The flags are set in order to take into account the fields that I
specify. But i do not know at which point the frame are
dropped.

Hi!
Are you sure it is not your injector that is having alignment issues?
AFAIK the radiotap parser explicitly uses endianness-aware function
everywhere.

Hi,

I'm writing an application to inject traffic over a wireless interface. This
app
is working fine on an x86 machine. However if i compile the same app for
an arm platform, no frame are sent over the wireless interface (ath9k).

I'm guessing that this is because of some alignment issues but i cannot
track
the piece of code that is actually parsing the frame. I've found the
__ieee80211_parse_tx_radiotap in net/mac80211/tx.c function, but it is
not called when i try to inject some traffic, so the frame are dropped
before that.

Any hints?

Thanks
R.
