Sequence number of sent packets and last function before sending a packet

Hi,

I'm using hostap driver on a zaurus c1000 in ad-hoc mode. I have two questions :

- When I dump all packets headers (iwpriv wlan0 dump 3), the sequence
number of sent packet is always 0 (you can see that below).
Do you have an idea to get the correct sequence number ?

- I'm going to modify the driver source code to create a new file in
/proc with the most recent values of signal level and noise level for
each destination (I'm using ad-hoc mode). I'm wondering how functions
are called to send a packet, and which one is the final before
sending. All sent packets seems to pass through function
"hostap_data_start_xmit" in file hostap_80211_tx.c, but I'm not sure.
Can you confirm me that ?

Thanks!

Best regards,
Jean-Marie Gouy
