Re: Project Status: GSoC 2013

Hi All,

A follow up for GSoC project status towardss contribution in Wireshark
Connector and Higher Modulation on IEEE 802.11 Rx.

I have been into the final stages of wireshark
connectorhttp://radioplus.edublogs.org/.
With the reference of Bastian’s code, I have been able to open and
create a
pipe between wireshark and gnuradio via which packets can be passed. But
I
am having error after opening up the wireshark. There is specific error
“Frame too long(NNN)” where NNN is size in bytes is given by wireshark.
You
may watch screen capture
herehttp://radioplus.edublogs.org/files/2013/07/gnuradio_2-1iuwlb6.mp4.

I am trying to resolve this error as soon as possible, if you have any
please provide inputs.

Thank you
Shashank G.

Hello All,

I already sent this email twice over weekend, I am not sure if its getting
delivered. Apologies if I spam the list/your inbox.

I am Shashank, one of the GSoC students this year. My project proposal was
to work on IEEE 802.11 receiver developed by Bastian B. at University
of Innsbruck and as well an connector to Wireshark application.

As the time comes for the Developer’s Call as well the Mid Term, I would
be
obliged to have some help/feedback from the community.

Since I realized that I have been and intend to stick around with the
community for long time, so I thought it would be more useful to put up
all
info on a blog. You will find all the info here. I will try to publish
some
more detailed posts very soon. Also the code is available here.

For short, here is some summary:

Having almost same objectives and as well with some recent developments
from
Bastian, I have been trying to collaborate with him to develop the
project,
and with his insight its been much easier to work on the stuff. I have
been
able edit the gr-ieee802-11 in order to bridge the OOT module developed by
Bastian into it.

The modified gr-ieee802-11 module passes out the pdu using parse_mac block
as a pair, and the wireshark connector takes that pair, extract
information
and uses it to create the PCAP headers for Wireshark to use.

All of the reference for my work till now has been Bastian’s Project

The main milestone I wish to finish up before Mid Term is to testing the
bridge between the Wireshark OOT module and gr-ieee802-11 module and
finishing it. Addition to that either convert the FTW tx for current
module
