Re: [tcpm] Separate header checksums and WiFi

Hi all,

[ Answering an email from January 2007 (my, my, how time flies  :-(  ),
and including ICCRG because I recently mentioned this study there,
so it might be of interest to them too ]

We finally did that:

Michael Welzl, Mattia Rossi, Andrea Fumagalli, Marco Tacca, "TCP/IP over
IEEE 802.11b WLAN: the Challenge of Harnessing Known-Corrupt Data",
accepted for publication, IEEE ICC 2008 (International Conference on
Communications), 19-23 May 2008, Beijing, China.

Available from
http://www.welzl.at/research/projects/corruption/index.html
(until somebody tells me that I misread the legal bits and
am not allowed to do so)

Cheers,
Michael
