Package: ethereal Version: 0.10.12-6 Severity: normal I was dissecting some stupid frames I created myself, and accidentally had a zero-length information element of type 1 (supported rates). I've exported it to ascii so you can see what's happening:
Tagged parameters (12 bytes)
SSID parameter set: "AIBONET"
Tag Number: 0 (SSID parameter set)
Tag length: 7
Tag interpretation: AIBONET
Supported Rates: ^O<EA><F8>T^?<U+060B>^P^O <89>^L^PmŪ
Tag Number: 1 (Supported Rates)
Tag length: 0

\017\352\370T\177\330\213\020\017 \211\f\020m\333\240 [Mbit/sec]
The corresponding packet bytes are:
