which initializes the status_codes[] array, decodes the 0x12 error as
"Association denied due to requesting station not supporting all "
"of the datarates in the BSSBasicServiceSet Parameter"
However, according to p94 the IEEE 802.11 Standard,ieee_std_802.11-2007,
section 7.3.1.9 Status Code field, Table 7-23--Status codes, the 0x12 code (ie
18) must be interpreted as
"Association denied due to requesting STA not supporting all of the data rates
in the BSSBasicRateSet parameter"
This is seen in Association Response packets which reject a client station on
the basis of its mismatching data rates.
The fix:
~~~~~~~~
Change the line's string to
"Association denied due to requesting STA not supporting all of the data rates
in the BSSBasicRateSet parameter"
However, "STA" may remain as "station", for clarity.
I've quickly gone over the rest of this array, but do not see a need for any
other changes. Let's hope this is it! :-)
