zbstumbler catching a higher percentage of FAST beacon responses #6

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run zbstumbler against certain products which may use hardware or low-level 
802.15.4 beacon response implementations
2. short physical distances to test device seem to raise this issue
3. pcap from zbdump of zbstumbler session will show the real beacon responses, 
but these are not caught by zbstumbler fast enough

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
zbstumbler sometimes does not report the discovered network even when a beacon 
responses was elicited.

This could be addressed in two ways:
1. push a function to the firmware to send a given frame and receive the next 
frame and return it (also should measure time delta)
2. make a version of zbstumbler that uses two devices, one to send and another 
to listen for the beacon responses -- they need to follow eachother across 
channels when receiving/transmitting.
