[Chilli] Showing clients' connections in kernel module mode

[Phyo Wai Soe]

Hello Everyone,

We are running Coova in kernel mode on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit (kernel - 3.2.0-58-generic). I would like to find out if /proc/net/coova/chilli lists all clients (authenticated and unauthenticated) like chilli_query list. Steffen Dettmer in this mailing list once replied to me and said /proc/net... lists only authenticated clients but in our installation, it shows both types (state=0 for unauthenticated). For example -

mac=08-00-27-E3-0F-FF src=10.99.0.200 state=0 bin=0 bout=0 pin=0 pout=0
mac=09-AA-34-C3-78-BC src=10.99.0.200 state=1 bin=0 bout=0 pin=0 pout=0

So, I would like to find out if others are seeing the same thing or not. Do you think something is wrong? Will it effect any functionality? I found kcoova.c is writing to that /proc/net... file but only when clients authenticate/log out. I am baffled how the unauthenticated clients got into that file. I tried it on 32 and 64 bit systems but the result is the same.

Thanks for any help or advice.

Regards,
