Extended presence mask ignored in injected frame

[Roberto Riggio <roberto.riggio@create-net.org>]

Hi,

I'm injecting some traffic using the Click modular router. The radiotap
header that I'm building contains four presence masks. In the first three
mask the bit 31 is set to 1 while the last masj sets the bit 31 to 0.

The problem is that only the first block is parsed by the kernel while 
the other
are ignored more precisely -ENOENT is returned when the last bit of the 
first
presence mask is found. Basically since in the second to forth blocks I'm
specifying RATE and DATA_RETRIES fields I was expecting this fields to be
processed multiple times in the tx.c file. However this is not happening and
only the first occurrences of RATE and DATA_RETRIES fields are processed.

Is anybody using frame injection with multiple presence masks and has faced
the same issue? The driver I'm using is ath5k.

R.
