Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mac80211: Add HT rates into radiotap
Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2008 14:38:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081212123918.723191687@atheros.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20081212123832.506588839@atheros.com
Update the radiotap definition based on the format used in FreeBSD to
allows MCS index, HT20/HT40, and short GI information to be reported
for received frames in monitor mode. This format is also supported by
wireshark.
