Topic: Modified Beacon frame

Hey there,

I'm planning on sending out a constantly changing vendor information element via the beacon frames. Does anyone have a clue in which file at which position I'll have to insert my data?

I intend to send the current nanotime with each beacon frame (please no discussion about where that's a good idea or not).


Thanks a lot in advance!

PS.: My target platform uses an rt305x chip if that matters.

May in beacon.c at buildir/targetXXX/hostapd/src/ap/beacon.c

That was the right place to look at! Thank you very much!!

I always changed C-Files in a different folder and my changes had no effect which was quite frustrating wink

@JayBeOh, may i see the structure of the function you created. Im failing to come up with a function. I want to add static info to a beacon frame in one of the optional parameter sets

The discussion might have continued from here.
