Subject: IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_DATA_RETRIES for tx frames?
Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2007 11:27:59 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200711281127.59233.bruno@thinktube.com> (raw)
hello!
while working on packet injection for madwifi i came across the following
question:
can we use the IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_DATA_RETRIES for injected TX frames to
specifiy the number of retries to be used?
this usage seems to be slighty different from the strict specification of
radiotap for this field (at least the version of the header we have included
in madwifi now) because it was concerned with received data frames only, and
we apply it to all kinds of frames to be TXed:
/*
* IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_DATA_RETRIES u_int8_t data
*
* Number of unicast retries a transmitted frame used.
*/
could we extend the meaning of this field to be applicable to transmit frames
too?
