Does anyone know the best way to create an SSID beacon?
All I want to create is a device which only transmits an SSID beacon which can be configured. Some of the criteria are;
Can anyone offer any guidance on this?

You are looking to craft a packet?
To what purpose? and please be very very VERY specific.

I dont want to create a new packet, I just want to turn off all the other elements apart from the SSID broadcast.
The purpose is for a little home project I am working on.
All I need to create is a stripped down device to only transmit a beacon in the same format as an SSID so that it can be recognised by a wifi enabled device without any hardware or software modification. No connectivity is required.

While I do not know how to do this myself, I would caution you to be very careful with this.
the potential for DOS attacks is very high, and I for one would not one someone to point back to these forums saying that this is where they learned/heard how to do it.

Thats ok, there was no malicious intent in the request.
I will keep up my research to get this project up and working though.
Thanks.
