Hi, Everbody
I am using madwifi study 802.11. The madwifi runs rightly on my Federa host rather as ap or sta. When runs as sta,I using
ominipeek capturing wifi packets at the same time. When this sta(192.168.3.3) ping another sta(192.168.3.119) in the same BSS,I captured
2 arp request packets.One arp reqpacket is "To the DS",other one is "Not an exit from the DS".Then I printk informations by setting print
points in function ath_tx_start(..) and function ath_hardstart(...) in source code file if_ath.c. But I can only find one arp req packet is
send out in source code. This make me puzzled. I don't know when the other one arp packet is send out in source code. I think it
maybe relate to 802.11 protocol. Would you please give me the answer? Thanks!
Attached files are the capture file and related jpgs.
