I would be shocked if the Raspberry Pi 3 has the processing power to run 
gr-ieee80211. Are you attempting to do this real-time?

Hello,

I'm running gr-ieee802.11 on a Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian. I'm connected 
to a bladeRF and running GRC 3.7.10. At this point, I want to sniff WiFi 
packets to demonstrate the bladeRF working with receiving WiFi from say a 
router or laptop (no transmission yet). I'm using the 2.4GHz band with 20MHz 
bandwidth because bladeRF does not go up to the 5GHz band.

In the WiFi RX example, I only changed the USRP Source to a Osmocom Source 
block. In this example, it appears Wireshark has been connecting to GRC via the 
/tmp/wifi.pcap pipe because the Wireshark capture session closes when I kill 
the WiFi RX script. The constellation and time graphs both work, but I do not 
see any packets in Wireshark no matter the channel. Executing the script 
produces no errors, it just doesn't capture packets.

I thought the FFT block might be to blame because it had no documentation for 
it while all the other blocks did. I reinstalled fftw3 (v. >3) and it didn't 
update the documentation. osmocom_fft also works, so I don't think the FFT 
block is the problem but I wonder why it's missing documentation. Then, I 
reinstalled gnuradio and gr-ieee802.11 both after making sure the necessary 
dependencies were met for both. Still no changes. Wireshark receives packets 
from the WiFi Loopback example sent by the message strobe perfectly fine.

I would greatly appreciate any insights you have into why Wireshark is not 
receiving any WiFi packets from the bladeRF using the WiFi RX example. Do you 
have any ideas of what's going on or would you need any more information?

Thank you,

Eric Yates
