Hi,

It looks like the spec etc. has matured sufficiently to standardise the
radiotap for HE. Richard Sharpe has also contributed an implementation
for wireshark, and we have an implementation for our driver to report
(a subset of) the information.

Rather than copy/paste all the information into the email, here are the
links to the three newly defined fields.
http://www.radiotap.org/fields/HE
http://www.radiotap.org/fields/HE-MU
http://www.radiotap.org/fields/HE-MU-other-user

I just made a minor change here to delete the duplicated field, and add
an RU offset field (with known flag, of course).

Our implementation for Linux is in this tree:

(but you can just look at the code in net/mac80211/rx.c and
drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/rxmq.c)

We'll bring that upstream once radiotap is adopted.

Richard Sharpe's wireshark code is even partially merged already, see
here:

So let's also start 3 weeks commenting period for this, I think whoever
is interested probably already saw it anyway :-)
