Send Dataframe over WiFi STA with different MAC

Hi all,

I've managed to send raw data buffer through the WiFi Interface (STA connection) when the Interface's mac address matches the source mac of the DataFrame.

If the Source Address in the DataFrame differs from the Wifi's mac, then the frame is discarded.
Is there a possibility to get rid of this behaviour?

The data were sent with the esp_wifi_internal_tx command.
I want to route data from multiple hosts via a switch to esp32 ethernet inteface and from there through STA Connection to a Router.

Thanks in advance,

Pascal

How would the router allow multiple Mac addresses for one STA?

Hi,

I have the same problem. I need to send packets having a different MAC than the WIFI. The send function esp_wifi_internal_tx discards my packets.

Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks
