Hello,

 

I would like to know if the QCA4002/4 can support monitor mode and radioTap header (http://www.radiotap.org). The radioTap header can be observed on beacons in front of the MAC frame. Not all radios can support it and I would need a confirmation.

 

Thank you!

Hi,

QCA4004 supports monitor mode. In beacon frame, 802.11 radio information header will be present which contains  RSSI signal strength, frequency, channnel, noise level, timestamp and data rate fields.

Thanks

Can you confirm that 802.11 radio information header will be present for all frames (not just beacon)?

Thanks!

Hi,

Yes all the 802.11 frames(management, control, data frames) will contain 802.11 raido information header.

Thanks,
Santhosh
