Hi Mike,
I already did the steps that you suggested but if I use type= 0x80 then
the firmware gives interrupt
0x4000 and card stops responding. If I use type = 0x00 then the firmware
does not give this interrupt.
But in both the cases I don't see the new element showing up in the
outgoing Beacon frames.
There might be open source available but I am not aware of any such.
Regards,
-Rafiq.
