packet detection

Hi, if I detect a bad packet with rtsctsMac, is there a possibility to get the adress of the packet? Or is the adress already saved in pktCtr, so that I can get a look on it?

Re: packet detection

It depends on how the packet was determined to be bad. If the header was bad, you can't trust the source/destination address fields. If the header was good but the overall packet was bad, you can trust the header fields but not the payload. We use two checksums (16-bit CRC for the header, 32-bit CRC for the full packet) to enable this flexibility.
