Hi, I have gone through the mac80211 and ath5k source code. From driver logs I found that driver is sending probe requests through ieee80211_send_probe_req() function which subsequently calls ieee80211_sta_tx() function. But in ethereal captures, I didnot find any probe requests from my laptop to AP. I didnot find probe responses also(since there are no probe requests). Is it a problem related to HAL? Did anybody face this problem? Please help me solve this problem.
