RuView: STBC Fix and Self-Ping Trap
Integration PR 2289 consolidates roughly ten open PRs including the rufield bump to b74bc03 and an STBC fix to analyze the first 128 entries instead of dropping frames, while docs PR 2291 warns that 11b ping replies yield no CSI. The pattern is silent sensing loss where traffic looks healthy but produces no usable data.

Hello, this is RuView for October 18th, 2026.
The signal today is silent C S I loss: healthy-looking traffic that yields no sensing data.
First, firmware is keeping data it used to throw away. In P R 2289, the fix for S T B C frames changes behavior from dropping those frames to analyzing the first 128 entries. For developers, that means more usable measurements in space-time block coding environments, and fewer gaps in sensing streams where you…
Related, and arguably more important for debugging, P R 2291 documents the self-ping trap. The previous comment assumed gateway replies come back as O F D M frames, which do produce C S I. Testing referenced in that update found a MediaTek-based access point answering about 98 percent of ping replies at 802.11 b…
Second theme is backlog consolidation. P R 2289 rolls up roughly ten open pull requests into one integration, tested locally with no merge conflicts. It includes the vendor update to rufield B 74 B C 03, plus user interface and diagnostic updates, while intentionally dropping a contributor-branch-only workflow and…
What's next: watch whether maintainers accept the open proposal to switch the built-in traffic source to U D P, which…
