possible unstability of Econotag FIFO

[sdawans]

Reported on foren6-dev by Robert Gratwick. Will be looking into this...

Thanks Laurent & Sébastien,

Using a fifo makes sense.
However I think something is still not quite right, this what I needed
to do get things partial running.

1. ~/libmc1322x-new/tools$ mkfifo econotag.pcap
2. Open Foren6 and select that fifo as input source (with interface
   pcap). Foren6 will freeze at that point as it waits for the pcap header.
3. Launch rftestrx2pcap.py with ~/libmc1322x-new/tools$
   ./rftestrx2pcap.py /dev/ttyUSB1 26 econag.pcap
   Sometimes I needed to then kill it again (^C) before control comes
   back to foren6 gui and I can close the Manage sniffer dialog.
   If I restart rftestrx2pcap.py then start capture I might get not more
   than 5 packets and a bubble diagram, whilst an incrementing number of
   packets can be seen on the output of rftestrx2pcap.py. Sometimes I
   don't get any packets in foren6.

If I restart foren6 with rftestrx2pcap.py running, I need to kiil
rftest.. before the gui comes up.

If I restart foren6 without rftest.. running, I need to start and kill
rftest.. before the gui comes up.

In both cases above, I sometimes get packets in foren6, but only <5
I hope this is useful.
Cheers
Robert

It does not appear to work for me at all with my econotag. I have followed the steps from the website perfectly as well
