 Despite 13 radiotap argument types are currently defined, most only make sense
-to appear on received packets.  Currently three kinds of argument are used by
-the injection code, although it knows to skip any other arguments that are
-present (facilitating replay of captured radiotap headers directly):
+to appear on received packets.  The following information is parsed from the
+radiotap headers and used to control injection:
 
- - IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_RATE - u8 arg in 500kbps units (0x02 --> 1Mbps)
+ * IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_RATE
 
- - IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_ANTENNA - u8 arg, 0x00 = ant1, 0x01 = ant2
+   rate in 500kbps units, automatic if invalid or not present
 
- - IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_DBM_TX_POWER - u8 arg, dBm

+ * IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_ANTENNA

+   antenna to use, automatic if not present
