Hi Guy,

I wonder why this mail went to my spam.. I don't know anything about radiotap
header so I'm afraid i'm not supplying it. And I have confirmed that my
captured packets are parsed well using NdisMediumBare80211. In Wireshark it
shows "IEEE 802.11 Data". So I think I will just use this value. Thanks!


Cheers,
Yang
