[Madwifi-devel] Beacon drift?

[Mohanram B. <moh...@gm...>]

Hi,

I captured the beacon frames from my AP running MADWifi. The relative
timings of the beacons appear to indicate a constant drift. Beacon
interval is set to 100ms, but the beacons appear to repeat
approximately every 102 to 103ms.
Is this what is observed by everyone else and is this an issue for clients?
I am not running the ng version, is this no more the case in ng?

thank you!
Mohan.
