Subject: radiotap rate no longer supported in mac80211?
Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2010 15:18:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTileP2BMsZUsA-NigDcmVcAmXn6KNw0R1vMzSgYw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I'm trying to support per-packet setting of rate on a packet injection
via the radiotap header. In an earlier version of mac80211 (around
2.6.26), there was code in __ieee80211_parse_tx_radiotap (in
net/mac80211/tx.c) to support the use of the the rate element from the
radiotap header. In current versions of wireless-testing, most of the
code here has been removed and only the flags are parsed.
I want to return the IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_RATE portion of this function
in order to support this. So the questions:
1. Why were all fields other than IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_FLAGS removed?
2. Would it be OK for me to prepare and submit a patch to restore the
rate functionality?
Thanks,
- Steve
