Dummy pkt mode

With the dummy packet mode, is it possible to send packets with null payload? i.e. can I set the packet length to zero and expect the dummy mode to generate and tx header-only packets?

Re: Dummy pkt mode

I think so? I've never tried it, but it should "just work" (dangerous claim to make blindly, I know).

Dummy packet mode is implemented in WARPMAC using a timer whose handler spoofs a call to the user dataFromNetworkLayer callback. The handler uses the length argument provided by the user code; I think a value of zero will work fine.
