[patch] monitor mode sequence number of packets originating from the card are wrong

Reported by: xmxwx@asn.pl Assigned to:
Priority: minor Milestone: version 0.9.3
Component: madwifi: other Version: v0.9.2
Keywords: Cc:
Patch is attached: 1 Pending:

Description

Actually this is because the hardware assigns the Sequence Numbers to outgoing packets unless a Retry Bit is set. For some uses (e.g. debuging with packet sniffer) it may be important to know what Sequence Number each frame was assigned.

The patch:

http: //dev.lintrack.org/browser/trunk/packages/madwifi/patches/004-local_monitor_sequence_numbers_fix.diff.bz2?format=raw

solves the problem by overwriting packets' SN after tx descriptors are processed.
