I run wireshark on the eth0 to see the traffic between USRP2 and the PC while running the rx file.
ok for the test code.

Ah, so wireshark on a 802.11b card can capture packets sent by the USRP2?

I will modify my test code so that it usable by some one else. It is sorta hacked together and difficult to understand. I'll try to send it to the list sometime today.

    Hi all,
    Thank you Colby for the update. I just run the code and it seems
    to work, but when I send packets from another USRP2 with the same
    frequency (bbn_80211b_tx_port2.py) I don't see anything happening.
    when I run wireshark, a huge number of packets was arriving,
    something like 11000 packets /s with the protocol 0xbeef
    I don't know how it should work exactly, but I think that the
    USRP2 is capturing the signal without beeing able to differentiate
    the packtes sent by the other USRP2.

    Can you share with us the code that works with the file to see the
    output of bbn_80211b_rx.py ?

        Hi All,

        So I ran a sanity test on the TX and RX functions.

        In the tx.py file, I added a file sink to record the data
        being sent to the USRP2. In the rx.py file I added a file
        source to read that data, rather than reading samples from the
        USRP2. When I did this, it was able to successfully demodulate
        the packets from reading the sample data from a file. So TX is
        working(?) unless something is going wrong with
        initializing/sending stuff to the hardware.

        So perhaps the rx is not correctly reading samples in from the
        USRP2?

        Thoughts?

           Hi Ben,

           I uploaded my files to the usrp2_version in the CGRAN
        server. It
           uses the same files I used to run my USRP2 tests, so it should
           interface with the hardware correctly. Let me know if it
        does not.

                   I'm trying to modify the bbn_80211b_rx.py code
        inorder to
                   receive packets but in every step I'm facing an
                   AttributeError like:

                   AttributeError: 'usrp2_source_32fc_sptr' object has no
                   attribute 'make_format'

                   AttributeError: 'gr_hier_block2_sptr' object has no
                   attribute 'subdev'

                   It seems that the code has not been switched
        correctly to
                   work with usrp2 and still make reference to usrp
        classes.

                   Did you try to run the bbn_80211b_rx.py with the usrp2
                   that you have?

                       The code I sent seemed to be working but i realy
                       didn't tested it. We have only one USRP2 here
        and we
                       were trying to receive pkts using a 802.11b PCI

                          Hi Colby!


                          We have also tried without success.
                          We have used the TX path from Tiago and a
        modified
                       version of the
                          RX path (firmware and FPGA at their latest
        update).
                          I also felt confident that the the TX path
        works,
                       and consequently
                          that the RX path had some problem.


                          So we have tried to transmit with the USRP2 and
                       receive with a
                          real IEEE802.11 chipset (Ralink chipset RT2500).
                          This chipset has no firmware and we modified the
                       linux driver so
                          as to:
                          - avoid mac CRC (Everything received on the MAC
                       layer is passed to
                          the higher layers);
                          - set fixed modulation schemes (i.e. DBPSK
        1Mbps);
                          - set PLCP long preamble.
                          - set complete monitor/passive mode.


                          The chipset detects some transmitted frames.
        This
                       could be an
                          indication that the PLCP preamble/header is
        correct
                       (?).
                          However the PLCP payload is just rubbish.
                          We have also tried to submit stupid payloads
        (like
                       ffffffff) and I
                          have the impression that what we receive is just
                       random. :-(


                          If we obtain some successful result in the
        next few
                       days, I'll let
                          you know!

                          Danilo
