Hello everybody, this is my first post here. I've been looking for a solution to my problem through the mailing list but I couldn't find it. I'm developing a protocol that pretends to use 802.11 wireless card as simply transmitter and receiver devices. I mean my idea is to simply that to send and receive frames. Up to the moment I'm able to transmit and receive frames talking directly to the mac80211 module using a simple patch that I've written. My problem is that such a protocol uses broadcast frames that are, by default, sent at the lowest rate (1/2 Mbit/s for 802.11b/g and 6Mbit/s for 802.11a). I've been looking in the code how to force the mac80211 or even the specific driver (e.g. b43 or iwlagn) to send broadcast frames at higher rates but I feel a little lost since I don't have the global vision on how all the wireless stuffs work together. I've read in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/46121/match=broadcast+rate that maybe the solution could be to specify 'only a single rate in the basic rate set' but, where's is specified the basic rate set. If someone could give me an hint on how to get documentation about mac80211 and its interaction with lower level drivers of directly on my problem, it would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
