No. We're talking about corrupted frames, from the IEEE 802.11 point of view. The firmware will drop any corrupted frames or frames that don't match the IEEE 802.11 version number unless the flags to pass these frames are set. You can set this via the mac80211 filter flags. There are two flags. One flag to pass frames that don't match the IEEE 802.11 specs and one flag to pass frames that even failed the PLCP checksum. However, the passing of PLCP failed packets will also enable your microwave oven as a valid packet transmitter. ;) So you don't want to enable that one. -- Greetings, Michael. _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
