Hi Eric,
I'm using ath5k_beacon_send function to send some packets out. But I don't
think anything is happening for the following reasons:
I have a channel energy monitor which monitors through which I can make some
plots. I've put the monitor very very close to tx, so that these beacons
will be distinctive in energy. I'm sending beacons every 1 sec. I don't find
any high energy packet in my monitor. I've put the beacon length as
4096(skb->len).
I'm calling ath5k_beacon_send from ath5k_rxbuf_setup where I'm doing the
following
To the end I've made these connections
sc->bbuf =bf;
skb->len = 4096;
and calling ath5k_beacon_send(sc);
Can you tell me where I'm possibly going wrong.
Thanks.
Cool Fire
