Client Adapter Receive Statistics
Description
The number of multicast packets that were received successfully.
The number of broadcast packets that were received successfully.
The number of unicast packets that were received successfully.
The number of bytes of data that were received successfully.
The number of beacon packets that were received successfully.
The number of all packets that were received successfully.
The number of duplicate packets that were received successfully.
The number of packets received when no receive buffers were
available. These errors usually occur when the host does not read
the received packets from the client adapter fast enough.
The number of times the client adapter started to receive an
802.11 physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) header but
the rest of the packet was ignored due to a cyclic redundancy
check (CRC) error in the header.
The number of times an 802.11 PLCP header was received with a
valid CRC but the rest of the packet was ignored due to an
unknown value in the header.
The number of times an 802.11 PLCP header was received but the
rest of the packet was ignored due to an illegal header length.
The number of packets that had a valid 802.11 PLCP header but
contained a CRC error in the data portion of the packet.
The number of fragments that were discarded because the entire
packet was not received successfully.
The number of times the client adapter tried to associate to an
access point but was unable to because the adapter's SSID was not
the same as the access point's.
The number of times the client adapter tried to associate to an
access point but was unable to because the access point was not
the adapter's specified access point.
Note
The number of times the client adapter tried to associate to an
access point but was unable to because the adapter's data rate was
not supported by the access point.
Note
Refer to the Specified Access Point 1- 4 parameter in
Table 5-5 for information on specifying access points.
Refer to the Data Rate parameter in
information on supported data rates.
