I'm trying to use the madwifi driver to tx and rx action frame, which sub
type is 0xd0.
1. one node sends action frame, the other node can receive those frames
in monitor mode.
2. I change the receive node to master mode, It can't receive any action
frames.
3. A virtual monitor interface is created on the same device. Then it can
receive the action frames again.
4. The virtual monitor interface is removed and I modify the sender
action frame's subtype to 0x40 (Probe Request type) without change any
other bits in the send frame. Now the receiver can receive the action
frame again.
Actual, I search the whole madwifi code. I didn't find any place to use
the definition of IEEE80211_FC0_SUBTYPE_ACTION.
Is there any setting for hardware to receive the action frame?
