[Prism54-devel] Re: Strange problem with wds in prism54

[Sergio Ammirata]

Denis and Jean-Baptiste,

wds_find_device
wds_find_device: WDS from mac 01-80-c2-00-00-00 not in current config,
returning NULL
[01][80][c2][00][00][00][00][04][e2][80][7d][42][00][2e][42][42][03][00][00]
[00][00][00][00][0a][00][04][e2][80][7d][42][00][00][00][00][00][0a][00][04]
[e2][80][7d][42][80][02][00][00][3c][00][02][00][04][00][a5][a5][a5][a5][a5]
[a5][a5][a5]
wds_net_send_packet

This frame from my log is already coming from a hostap device. And I have
had that hostap device connect to commercial devices with wds. So hostap is
definitely wds compliant. We can assume the above packet is well formed and
adjust our code to read it properly.

[00][04][e2][80][7d][42] is the mac address of the hostap access point with
wds enabled against this device.

00:02:6F:22:9A:D7 is the mac address of our prism54 device.

Hope that helps,

Sergio
