Missing rx statistics in repeater mode

[Mike Saywell]

Hi there,

I have 2 hosts running hostap 0.1.1, 1 is in master mode and the other
is in repeater mode.

On the host in repeater mode some of the wireless statistics in /proc
are missing, e.g.

beastie hostap-utils-0.1.0 # cat /proc/net/hostap/wlan0/00\:60\:b3\:75\:56\:a3 
AP=00:60:b3:75:56:a3
users=1
aid=0
flags=0x0003 AUTH ASSOC
capability=0x00
listen_interval=0
supported_rates=1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 
jiffies=43073467
last_auth=0
last_assoc=0
last_rx=0
last_tx=43073413
rx_packets=0
tx_packets=1258885
rx_bytes=0
tx_bytes=468980624
buffer_count=0
last_rx: silence=156 signal=174 rate=110
tx_rate=110
tx[1M]=26264
tx[2M]=6163
tx[5.5M]=11167
tx[11M]=1215291
rx[1M]=129
rx[2M]=2074
rx[5.5M]=680
rx[11M]=1135573
channel=0
ssid=

I know for a fact that the interface has received lots of packets:

beastie hostap-utils-0.1.0 # /sbin/ifconfig wlan0wds0
wlan0wds0 Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:09:5B:2F:E3:D2

          Interrupt:11 Memory:c88b5000-c88b6000 

Here's hostap_diag output...

NICID: id=0x8013 v1.0.0 (PRISM II (2.5) Mini-PCI (SST parallel flash))
PRIID: id=0x0015 v1.1.1
STAID: id=0x001f v1.7.4 (station firmware)

I'm not running hostapd.

Oh, also with regards to the noise & signal values to convert to dBm is
it just a matter of subtracting 256?  (the numbers seem about right :)

Thanks in advance,
