Here are the settings: Ubuntu 10.04, madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r4103-20100110, Atheros AR5001X+ wireless card, I set the wireless interface (ath0) to work in monitor mode, and on the same channel as the access point(channel 6): sudo iwconfig ath0 channel 6. (Also tried frequency: sudo iwconfig ath0 freq 2.437G) Then when I use the following command to capture beacons: sudo tcpdump -i ath0 -ne link[25]=0x80 it takes much longer time than expected. The access point is broadcasting beacons in default rate 100ms, but it takes almost 20 minutes to collect 200 beacons. Any idea what's going on here?

And off course I have some questions, Could you please help me to resolve them? Perhaps, the trouble is not very big, while you know I'm a freshman of this fields, so... OK, now we are developing a device with wireless access point, it's based on the chipset of Atheros I just want to know when other device with wifi function connected into the wlan of our host device, how can we get the info of the client wifi device? such as IP, MAC, NAME... Are there any available tools can help me to these details? Or, I have to use the API of the driver?? Looking forward to your reply.

I know that in netdevice.h file there is the struct net_device_stats with rx_bytes and tx_bytes fields. I wrote a program that prints on stdout (every x seconds) these two numbers. While for rx_bytes I know that this is the number of *correctly* received bytes, I was wondering: how can I know the number of total *successfully* transmitted bytes? This question comes from the fact that tx_bytes is incremented when is put into the buffer and so it counts also retransmissions (and by the way some of them are performed by hardware...), but I'm interested in just the correct tx_bytes, because I have to compute the goodput. Is there an expert guy (or maybe more than one) that knows how to help me? Thanks in advance.

I am currently working on a research for energy saving in the 802.11 standard and for that I have made a platform with two PCI card (DWL-G520) with atheros chipset. I also use Madwifi as driver. The platform consists of the following: a card will act as AP and the other as station. This station must send a constant number of frames to the access point (eg, sample temperature). The access point can request a smaller amount of samples by the beacon frame to the station. To send fewer frames, I do not under the frecuency of sending of packets in the estation. What we really do is lower the transmission power (txpower) to have packet loss and save energy in the transmission (by IOCTL calls). The problem is that when I lose about 20% of packets the card quickly becomes unstable and starts to have 100% of packets loss. I then dynamically increase power, but takes time to </pre> francisco cardenas 2011-11-15T16:22:10 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.madwifi.user/15437 <pre>Hey, Which version of Madwifi should I use to work with sr71-a, from ubiquiti?

I have patched my copy of the madwifi-devel stream with Mr. Roskin's AR9220 patch (found at http://madwifi-users.20070.n2.nabble.com/MadWifi-driver-fails-to-recogni ze-Ubiquity-card-td5294763.html &lt;http://madwifi-users.20070.n2.nabble.com/MadWifi-driver-fails-to-recogn ize-Ubiquity-card-td5294763.html&gt; ). The card appears to be working from the software side of things - I can bring up the interface, setup ssid and a channel, and retrieve stats. The radio, however, does not seem to be producing any RF output - confirmed by an 802.11 power analyzer connected to either of the antennas. I have tried setting the RFKILL parameter both in software and hardware (blocking the appropriate PCI pin), to no avail.

I can make it work using the stable madwifi, but if I want to change channel width, I instead use the ubnt hal in place of the regular hal. As my plataform is PowerPC based, I use also eabi - Embedded Application Binary Interface. But then, my radio is simply not found, and no ath are available using ifconfig or iwconfig.
