Re: [ns] Mac Trace bug

[Devendra Goyal <goyald@email.uc.edu>]

I am on ns-2.1b6, but I tried ns-2.1b7a also, same error.
My platform is Solaris.
Possibly you did not check it correctly.
The line:

set MacTrace ON

does not work.

You have to say either

Simulator set MacTrace_ ON

or set it on in ns-defaults.tcl.

You will get the error.

Please investigate.

Thanks
