ESP32 Sniffer Burst Sequence
Posted: Sat Jun 02, 2018 7:59 pm
Hello everybody,
I have been using ESP32 for a research project for a while now. I mostly use the Sniffer API and I'm only using it to sniff management packets. I need to capture as many MGMT packets as possible. Based on my recent findings, if there is a burst of probes from a device (lets say a total of 50 probes in a single channel, and they all look alike), ESP32 only reports one probe out of all of this. So it seems like there is some sort of filtering going on internally. Is there a way to turn this filter off? I need to see all the probes, even if they are exactly the same with just different sequence numbers.
