Re: [ath5k-devel] Issue with per station statistics in debugfs
Hello to all, I've realized the rx_fragments and rx_bytes continually increase because of the beacons (I thought the beacons were not recorded if the iface is not in monitor mode). I would like to know how to stop registering the beacons in this situation. I've tried changing the value of AR5K_RX_FILTER_BEACON but it stops detecting other stations instead of just not registering the beacons. Thanks in advance! Mariana 2011/11/14 Mariana Gambande mlgamba...@gmail.com Hi to all! I have an issue regarding the debugfs statistics. I'm working with ad-hoc mode and monitoring statistics in /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/stations/. I have observed that having no activity between two stations connected in ad-hoc mode (no one is sending anything), the variables rx_fragments and rx_bytes continually increase. This can be seen with the command 'iw $iface station dump' also. I would expect that variables in /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/statistics could get increase because of some noise (other AP around, etc) but not in the per station statistics. This happens with both connected stations and no one shown tx_bytes/tx_packets. I'm working with compat-wireless-2.6.35-1. Are these really per station statistics? Thanks in advance!

Re: [ath5k-devel] Issue with per station statistics in debugfs
Why don't you log packets using tshark/tcpdump on a monitor mode interface and then do your analysis on the log? If you don't log the packets then the only way is to modify the mac80211 source code to not count the beacons which should be pretty straightforward to do. -Qasim On Tue, Nov 22, 2011 at 5:42 AM, Mariana Gambande mlgamba...@gmail.comwrote: Hello to all, I've realized the rx_fragments and rx_bytes continually increase because of the beacons (I thought the beacons were not recorded if the iface is not in monitor mode).
