I've checked it in, with the name DLT_IEEE802_11_RADIO (if anybody prefers, say, DLT_WLAN_HEADER, as per the Ethereal name for it inside its capture-file-reading routines, speak up soon), and the value 127. I've also checked in a change to Ethereal to map it to WTAP_ENCAP_WLAN_HEADER. I will look at adding libpcap support (probably initially with the header length hardwired in; if, as, and when I get around to adding support for variable-length link-layer headers, I'll look at adding support for that as well - please ensure that the header length field in the header continues to be the header length, so that BPF code can continue to test it!) and tcpdump support soon. - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
