Comment:
IMHO, fixing the input to use only madwifi's tx_radiotap appears to be
inconvenient when writing software which uses Monitor VAP as raw radio
interface. Developer would rather expect from the driver to conform to the
radiotap standard (i.e. to provide proper parsing of the header instead of
using its limited subset). My suggestion is to provide such a parser so
that maximum compatibility with userspace programs can be achieved. This
has been already done and applied to Lintrack's madwifi patchset:
