Hello!

When examining my own AP (rt2860 based) with another STA in monitor
mode, I can see always 7 packets after each beacon frame:

- Deauthentication [Malformed Packet]
- Unrecognized
- Unrecognized
- Unrecognized
- QoS CF-Ack + CF-Poll [Malformed Packet]
- Unrecognized
- Clear-to-send [Malformed Packet]

These packets don't have any MAC address or IP address.
I attached them as text file.


I can't see these packages after beacon packets from other AP's.


What are they used for?



Thanks for your advice,
Andreas

Hi,

> When examining my own AP (rt2860 based) with another STA in monitor
> mode, I can see always 7 packets after each beacon frame:

Well if it is an AP with a rt2860 chipset, then it probably isn't
using the rt2x00 drivers,
so no idea what those extra frames would be.
Can't they come from another client somewhere which is responding to the AP?

I'm using rt2800pci driver (from compat-wireless-2011-08-08).

They are coming up exactly with the starting of hostapd.

> Can't they come from another client somewhere which is responding to the AP?

None of my clients have been running as supplicant during the
measurement. There can't be seen any MAC or IP addresses in this
package. But they're sent on exactly this channel the AP (hostapd) is
configured on.
