# esp-idf-injection-ng

> esp-idf-injection-ng documents an investigation of ESP-IDF's compiled libnet80211.a frame-type check. The author traces why symbol overrides fail in v5 and later, then supplies an objcopy patch, demonstration firmware and captures for transmitting additional 802.11 management frames through esp_wifi_80211_tx.
