Subsystems (4)
cover Try #6: Radiotap on Monitor Mode interfaces for rx and tx
Hi folks -
This set of patches change the Monitor Mode wireless interfaces to use radiotap both for monitoring and for packet injection. The monitoring side is done by a patch from Michael Wu. Tcpdump knows how to handle the result.
For injecting packets, the you issue a packet using libpcap or a SOCK_PACKET socket down an interface to the wireless device that is in Monitor Mode. The packet has a normal radiotap header prepended to the IEEE80211 header. The radiotap header is variable length depending on what the user wants to specify, currently the transmit rate, power and antenna can be specified using normal radiotap semantics. Any other entries are skipped.
The radiotap parser is broken out into its own file under cfg80211.
A usermode app packetspammer is available from here
http://penumbra.warmcat.com/_twk/tiki-index.php?page=packetspammer
which allows easy injection of these packets from the commandline. At the moment it loops issuing packets at a variety of rates which can be seen from another machine's monitor mode interface on the same channel. There are instructions for build and using it on the page above.
Currently it has been tested for both rx and tx using zd1211rw-mac80211.
The patches should be based against yesterday's wireless-dev.
I also added some documentation files which explains how to use the injection functionality and radiotap header notes.
PATCH 1/5 mac80211:Change Radiotap to little-endian (Pavel Roskin)
Meddled with by Andy Green since signed-off: made it apply to current wireless-dev, took out comments for radiotap types not in current wireless-dev
Document that all fields must be little endian. Use annotated types even in the comments. Consistently use shorter type names (u8, s8). Realign the comments.

- Based on Johannes Berg's comments, broke out the radiotap parsing into its own file as part of cfg80211
- From same comments, added mask constant for b31 of arg presence bitfield to ieee80211_radiotap.h
- Fixed subtle but nasty bug with alignment: args in the radiotap area are aligned *relative to the start of the header* now. The header is not guaranteed to align to anything (it is randomly in an skb data area).

Try #6
- Accounted for various comments from Johannes Berg
- Radiotap parsing is moved to cfg80211 as requested in a separate patch
Try #5
- De-indent last few indented comments
Try #4
- All from Michael Wu's feedback: further style heresies removed
- took account of radiotap arg alignment requirement. n-byte arg must be placed on n-byte boundary using padding where necessary
Try #3
- moved to Michael Wu's method of tracking if we came in on a monitor interface by using ifindex
- removed older proposed monitor interface tracking method and flags
- style fixes
- removed duped #include that is present in Michael Wu's patch already
Try #2
- took Michael Wu's advice about better tools and basing on wireless-dev
- took Luis Rodriguez's advice about coding style makeover
- took Pavel Roskin's advice about little-endian radiotap
