ouput the dropped packets.

[iamxg]

Dear bob copeland，
I am learning to use wmediumd. I hope that I can add codes in the following codes and output the detail information of the dropped packets in log file. But I don't know how to modified codes in program wmediumd.c . Can you tell me how to implement it. Thanks a lot!
if (drand48() <= error_prob) {
w_logf(ctx, LOG_INFO, "Dropped mcast from "
MAC_FMT " to " MAC_FMT " at receiver\n",
MAC_ARGS(src), MAC_ARGS(station->addr));
continue;
}
Best Regards，
Xian Guo

If you just want to see what's in there, dump the buffer starting at frame->data which is frame->data_len bytes long. If you find you have to do this a lot or have a lot of packets to go through, then I would suggest writing out a pcap file that you could later investigate with wireshark. It has a fairly simple structure: https://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/LibpcapFileFormat
