Hi, For some time I am playing around with tools like scapy, senf, lorcon etc. Which allow to receive and construct frames in user-space and send them with pcap or raw sockets. I am trying to achieve the injection part with NL80211_CMD_FRAME. According to the description, only management frames are supported by this command. Am I right ?
I put some printks into nl80211.c and mlme.c to follow the transmission part and to understand where my commands are failing. I¹ve put my interface into master mode (NL80211_IFTYPE_AP) in order pass the checks in cfg80211. When I try to send down a beacon frame or another management frame I got an error from cfg80211_mlme_mgmt_tx in mlme.c. rdev_mgmt_tx returns an error code. How can I figure out why my frame is not send down on the wiphy ? By the way, why is CMD_FRAME only restricted to management frames ?
