[SPAM] rx failed due to frame too short: madwifi 0.9.4 r4119

Dear all,

 

Athstats of madwifi on the station reports  "nnnnnnn rx failed due to
frame too short"

 

The number of failed frames is almost half the number of received
frames. Please see the report from athstats below.

 

I interpret this as every frame sent from the Master has been
retransmitted thereby loosing bandwidth .

 

The master does not have this problem.

 

>From the code I see that this error is reported when a frame is received
that is shorter than the minimum 802.11 packet length.

 

Can anyone tell me why this happens and how to fix this ?
