> No answer to my question? Strange...
IDLE in the context mentioned above is the value of the nodes' current
"inactivity timer" counter. The purpose of this counter is explained in
net80211/ieee80211_node.h,
[source:madwifi/trunk/net80211/[EMAIL PROTECTED] lines 47 ff]:
{{{
#!blockquote
For inactivity processing each node has a timeout
set in its ni_inact field that is decremented on each timeout
and the node is reclaimed when the counter goes to zero. We
use different inactivity timeout values depending on whether
the node is associated and authorized (either by 802.1x or
open/shared key authentication) or associated but yet to be
authorized. The latter timeout is shorter to more aggressively
reclaim nodes that leave part way through the 802.1x exchange.
}}}
As far as I could find out in a quick review of the source, the counter is
decreased while a node shows no activity and is reset when the node
becomes active again. Once the value goes below a certain threshold the AP
actively probes the node (see
[source:madwifi/trunk/net80211/[EMAIL PROTECTED] here]). If the
node still shows no activity and the counter reaches zero it will be
considered "dead" (see above).
The different values used for this counter in different states can be
changed via {{{iwpriv}}} (inact_init, inact_auth, inact; see
[wiki:UserDocs/UsersGuide#inact_init-SetInactivityPeriodforINITState
here]).
Hope this helps.
