mac80211: parse VHT info in injected frames
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add VHT radiotap parsing support to ieee80211_parse_tx_radiotap().
That capability has been tested using a d-link dir-860l rev b1 running
OpenWrt trunk and mt76 driver

number of retries when either IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_RATE or
IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_MCS was used

* IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_VHT

VHT mcs and number of streams used in the transmission (only for devices
without own rate control). Also other fields are parsed

flags field
IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_VHT_FLAG_SGI: use short guard interval

bandwidth field
1: send using 40MHz channel width
4: send using 80MHz channel width
11: send using 160MHz channel width

The injection code can also skip all other currently defined radiotap fields
facilitating replay of captured radiotap headers directly.
