<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone of you know if some kind of proprietary
info is sent in frames by a Prism2-based card?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My question arises by observation of the size of
beacon frames, sent by a card in master mode. By sniffing them via ethereal
on a dedicated station, I can see a size of 59 bytes. But if I check the
behaviour of RxMulticastOctests and the RxMulticastFrames counters in an
associated station, in a session where beacons are the olny frame sent, I
can easily compute the size (RxMulticastOctests / RxMulticastFrames ) and I get
always 63 bytes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What is this 4 bytes difference?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>They are really sent on air, or are computed
locally by the receving card?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance.</FONT></DIV>
