Support of promiscuous mode and esp_wifi_80211_tx

Postby groovy » Mon Apr 23, 2018 6:09 pm

Dear Espressif team,

We intend to use the promiscuous mode and the raw packet sending feature (esp_wifi_80211_tx) in our product. I heard some controversial statements/opinions about the usage of this API, so I wanted to check directly with the team.

1) Will the promiscuous mode and the ability to send raw packets stay officially supported by ESP32?
2) What is the general status/recommendation wrt these APIs?
3) Could the usage of these APIs be a problem for certification (e.g. FCC)?

Our usage of these APIs is reasonable (i.e. no flooding) and we are only using it to communicate between our devices (i.e. no eavesdropping on other devices' wifi ).

Thank you in advance!
