Description William Keaney 2008-05-05 00:27:39 UTC

hping fails to recognize the physical layer header size needed for interfaces starting with "ath".  I am attaching a patch that addresses this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to use hping with an atheros-based 802.11 card
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
hping fails, complaining about an unknown phsyical layer header size

Expected Results:  
hping should detect the ath* interface as using WLANHDR_SIZE

Does hping-3 solve this issue? It doesn't look like it's checking for specific ifnames anywhere.
