[ns] new wireless trace format

[David Bath]

Hi List,

A small update on this.  I've been working today to try and find a more
precise set of conditions.  It seems I can't produce a new trace format
if I use the a mobile node of type Click.

As suggested in the nsclick papers, I am using 

Simulator set node_factory_ Node/MobileNode/ClickNode

As soon as I do that, the use-newtrace directive appears to be being
ignored.

I can't really find out a sensible combination of options to get more
precise than this - purely that something about using a ClickNode
prohibits traces in the new format.

Any thoughts very gratefully received!

Best Regards,

Dave

Hi list,

Try as I might, I can't get my wireless traces to spit out in new
format.  I'm using nsclick (compiled with ns2 version 2.3) and it seems
to otherwise be performing fine.

However, when I try the well-documented:

set ns_ [new Simulator]

set tracefd [open "<filename>" w]
$ns_ use-newtrace
$ns_ trace-all $tracefd

The output resolutely comes out in old format. 

I've also tried setting:

Simulator set WirelessNewTrace_ 1  (as seems to be in the ns-lib.tcl)

And

Simulator set newTraceFormat_ 1 (as seems to be indicated in
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/doc/node185.html) 

But no joy.

Any suggestions would be very welcome.
