>From some old reading I recall that beacons to Lucent means an advance packet that is sent out to see if the radio space to the target host is available prior to sending a quantity of traffic. Never sniffed it to see what they were or if they were actually being sent. I didn't see anything that looked like beacons in the wl0 driver code so it may actually be implemented in the modem, itself. Hopefully, somebody will give you more specific answers. -----Original Message----- From: Caroline Beauchamps <caroline.beauchamps@bt-sys.bt.co.uk> To: 'freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org' <freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG> Date: Thursday, January 14, 1999 6:31 AM Subject: WaveLAN beacons >Hi, > >I am not sure wether I should send this mail to freebsd-hackers or >freebsd-mobile... >I am using WaveLAN PCMCIA and ISA card from Lucent Technologies. >The ISA card sends some messages called "beacons" to the PCMCIA card. > >Does anybody know which kind of packets ( ICMP, ethernet frame... ???) >they are, and which information these messages contain ? > > > >Thanks >Caroline > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
