Right, but someone has to go and teach the driver the bits needed to do raw frame injection. I don't unfortunately have the time to fix the driver(s) to support this. I'll fix it for ath(4) and make it work for 11n, then fix whatever odd crap comes up in the net80211 stack. But someone else has to pick up the driver. :P -adrian On 19 July 2013 15:16, Mark Moes <mark_moes@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > > I understand you want to fix it in 9.1. The reason that I was using 8.1 i= s that I want to see how injection works there, to then somehow clone this = to a distribution based on 8.1 which does not support injection.
