Subject: Using ath5k/ath9k radio for constant-tx noise source.
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2015 12:07:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <55D4D406.5000603@candelatech.com> (raw)

I have a commercial AP that is using a CM9 ath5k radio (evidently, I could be wrong)
and it has the ability to do a constant transmit of raw noise (RF probe shows
noise, but a monitor-port sniffer does not see any frames from the CM9).

I don't know the low-level details of how it is doing this, but I suspect
it is using something like madwifi for a driver.

Does anyone know how this can be done with modern software and
ath5k or ath9k NICs?

Thanks,
Ben
