Glad to help.  One caution, though:  at this point, it is my
understanding that what the patches do is provide a way to capture the
raw 802.11 frames via bpf.  So any interpretation of them would need to
be done elsewhere; an example of that would be using Ethereal (8.17+),
while last I checked, tcpdump professes ignorance of the frame type.

As I understand it, the patches were developed under -STABLE, and have
yet to be brought over to -CURRENT.  (I had volunteered to help Doug
with that, so I suppose I ought to get to work.  Still, there shouldn't
be a huge amount of change.)

(I'm running both -STABLE & -CURRENT on my laptop, though not both at the
same time.)

Cheers,
david
