Packet injection and receiving raw wifi about esp8266rawpackets HOT 6 CLOSED

Indeed. I really wish I could get 802.11 association /and/ raw packet access so I could do my own broadcast network. Though ESP now is starting with the ESP NOW thing, I don't really like how complicated it is.

When you say raw packet access, does it include packets sent to MAC addresses other than your (own / broadcast)? I've found a way to get access to the broadcast raw packets, so this might be useful perhaps. Combined with the ppTxPkt / ieee80211_output_pbuf (for link layer frames), this could be a nice starting point for such a network.

Sorry about that. It is just the raw bytes in wireshark. So, it's certainly containing the preamble, etc... But that's about it. It just uses the ppTxPkt thing.

Charles, I am looking into working on a ESP based beacon, will be similar to BLE tag, I will include some sensor info before broadcast, your example provided some starting point for my project, and I will update my progress here as well. Thanks.

Excellent. I am still searching for some way to be connected using wifi and simultaneously communicate to the underlying packets.

Interestingly, there is this whole talk of the ESP NOW thing and I hope to see what comes of it.

Answer was not much. BTW - closing issue due to age.
