openofdm_rx viterbi decoder question

[mcrabtree1]

Hello,

I am trying to replace the viterbi decoder in your openofdm_rx ip with my own. I notice that the Xilinx viterbi decoder (when I test it on my own) seems to skip the first output value when you run the input strobe at full clock speed as your design seem to be doing in the dot11_tb (strangely the decoder doesn't seem to do this at slower speeds). I am wondering how are you handling this skipped output?
