8. If you are using a virtual machine, try to run the test tool from a live CD or USB instead.
9. Confirm using a second monitor interface that no other frames are sent in between fragments.
For instance, I found that my Intel device sometimes sends Block Ack Response Action frames
between fragments, and this interfered with the defragmentation process of the device under test.
9. Check that the tested device doesn't block ICMP ping requests. In case it doesn't reply to pings, you
can run tcpdump or wireshark on the device, or you can try any of the other methods listed in [No ICMP Support](#id-no-icmp).
10. Check that you are using modified drivers if needed for your wireless network card.
If you updated your kernel, you will need to recompile and reinstall the drivers.
11. Check that you are using modified firmware if needed for your wireless network card.

10. Run the tool with the extra parameter `--debug 2` to get extra debug output from wpa_supplicant or
hostapd and from the test tool itself.

For instance, I found that my Intel device sometimes sends Block Ack Response Action frames
between fragments, and this interfered with the defragmentation process of the device under test.
12. Double-check that you are using modified firmware if needed for your wireless network card. The test
tool already checks this automatically for `ath9k_htc` devices. The test tool also automatically checks
if you are using modified drivers, though it might be good to manually double-check this on your
specific Linux distribution.
