When receiving frames and no further frames are available, read() returns EAGAIN. In the previous implementation, frames would not be processed until the circular multicast buffer is full, resulting in a periodic burst of packets. In general, a receive failure should not affect processing of packets that were already successfully received.

I observed this behavior in #38 (comment) where I ping the broadcast address from the machine running owl.

Tested on:

  • TP-Link Archer T1U V1.0 (mt76)
  • Alfa AWUS036NHA (ath9k_htc)
