Hello folks,
I'm analyzing the 802.11s code and I think I've found that mesh
configuration information element has wrongs sizes.
It is not according to my copy of 802.11s draft 3.
on linux-wireless-testing/linux/include/ieee80211.h we have:
--------
/**
* struct ieee80211_meshconf_ie
*
* This structure refers to "Mesh Configuration information element"
*/
struct ieee80211_meshconf_ie {
u8 meshconf_psel;
u8 meshconf_pmetric;
u8 meshconf_congest;
u8 meshconf_synch;
u8 meshconf_auth;
u8 meshconf_form;
u8 meshconf_cap;
} __attribute__ ((packed));
----------
All fields have 1 byte, but according to
http://i45.tinypic.com/4ghhd1.jpg some of they must have 4 or 2 bytes
the function mesh.c:mesh_mgmt_ies_add uses those wrong sizes to
prepare the management frame.
Is there a new draft? or is there any reason to use those sizes?
(March 2009) Draft 3 802.11s MESH CONFIGURATION ELEMENT:
