Hi, I want to change the sequence number in probe request to each 4 (ex: 0, 4, 8 ....), so far I have treid (rtw_mlme_ext.c: _issue_probereq()): SetSeqNum(pwlanhdr, pmlmeext->mgnt_seq) pmlmeext->mgnt_seq += 4 But no effect

Hello gteca,

The area that you are looking at is not on my radar at this time. I am quite busy behind the scenes in other areas. This probably does not bode well for a guy doing a college project with a timeline. I understand that.

While you may not be looking for advice, here goes anyway:

Doing serious work on the Realtek drivers is of limited benefit since Realtek does not take pull requests from the public. On the other hand, working on a driver that is in the Linux kernel or in staging allows you to contribute to Linux as the folks at "linux-wireless" would love good contributions. A driver to examine and do work on could be the in-kernel driver for the mt7612u.

You can find links to get an adapter based on the mt7612u chipset from:

Good luck.
