Can you just verify that both the TDMA and non-TDMA beacon send code
in ath(4) actually generates a new beacon each time, and thus will
-get- an updated sequence number?

I'm worried that the current ath(4) beacon code only fires off a new
beacon to the hardware if the beacon contents needed changing, and
just re-uses the same frame over and over, expecting the hardware to
bump the sequence number.

Would you mind checking for me? :)

Thanks,


Adrian
