Send neighbor request (radio measurement) action frame

[Peer, Ilan]

Hi,

Sending a neighbor report request is supported from the control interface (assuming the underlying driver supports 11k). Have a look at:

wpas_rrm_send_neighbor_rep_request()

Regards,

Ilan.

Subject: Send neighbor request (radio measurement) action frame

I want to send a neighbor request frame.

I use Action Category 5 and action 4 for neighbor request but I don?t know if it really works because I can?t receive any action frame which should be sent with wireshark.
In this code, wpa_drv_send_action returns 0, so I think the action frame should be sent.

Is the following debug output correct that wpa_supplicant sends an action frame?

  data = os_zalloc(3);
  data[0] = 0x05; //action category: radio measurment
  data[1] = 0x04; //action: neighbor report request

  data[2] = 0x00; //dialog token
  if(wpa_s != NULL)
  {
     result = wpa_drv_send_action(wpa_s, wpa_s->assoc_freq, 0,
                                  wpa_s->bssid, wpa_s->own_addr, wpa_s->bssid,
                                  data, 3, 0);

     if(result < 0)
     {
       wpa_printf(MSG_DEBUG, "Failed to send Neighbor Request "
                             "(action=%d, intval=%d)", 0x04, 15);
     }
     //os_free(data);
  }
I get the following Debug Output:
