Not getting broadcast messages #23

Closed lecndav closed 2 years ago

lecndav commented 2 years ago

Hi,

it looks like the drive does not deliver broadcast messages to the kernel. I enabled debugging and put some debug messages into the function rtw_os_recv_indicate_pkt (CONFIG_RTW_NAPI/GRO = n). When I try to ping 255.255.255.255 from another host in the network, I do not see any debug messages.

I am using the Sipeed Lichee RV Dock with OpenWrt as host board.

I left any other configurations untouched. Nevertheless I am not sure it there is a problem with the host or the wifi chip/driver.

Does this problem sound familiar to anyone?

The problem was within the networks. Unifi wifi APs weren't forwarding broadcast messages. An update fixed it.
