Re: [SPAM] rx failed due to frame too short: madwifi0.9.4 r4119

Hello,

 

I am transmitting 500 frames per second.

By the sheer number of frames that have failed there may be some other
contributing factor.

 

This stats is after approx 14.5 hours of operation.

 

The difference  of  (rx frames from antenna profile - 2*failed rx frames
reported by athstats) is approximately equal to the number of beacon frames
(@100mSec) in 14.5 hours.

 

Any ideas on where to look ?

Hi

 

I've noticed before that the station increments this counter for every
beacon received.

Of course beacons are valid frames and the counter should not be incremented
in that case so I believe it is a bug.

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 ?
