------- Comment #1 from guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx  2007-07-21 17:11 GMT -------
To some degree, this might require WinPcap support - and, ultimately, support
for 802.11 frames, monitor mode, and radio information belongs in
libpcap/WinPcap.

WinPcap has APIs for getting and setting OIDs, so we might be able to do at
least some of the part that WinPcap doesn't currently support in Wireshark,
just as we should be able to handle monitor mode and channel changing for the
newer BSDs (and monitor mode, at least, for OS X) and perhaps Linux (at least
for drivers that support the wireless extensions or the new wireless framework)
in Wireshark even though libpcap doesn't yet support them.

If you could contribute your sample code (perhaps as an attachment, or perhaps
as a tarball or zipball or... available on a server with the URL in the "URL"
field), somebody might be able to figure out where to put it in Wireshark. 
(Hopefully I'll have time to work again on the BSD part, which might provide a
good framework for other platforms.)
