Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 1812] Radiotap dissector out of sync with the current spec
http://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1812

No, and no. The interpretation of a Radiotap file should *not* be dependent on
the OS on which you're running Wireshark!
IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_XCHANNEL was moved to 18 when I mentioned this problem to
David Young and Sam Leffler. IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_FCS was, as far as I know,
never used.
I'm working on the one remaining issue, namely collisions between some OpenBSD
bits and bits used in other OSes. Hopefully we can come up with a standard
that all OSes can adopt and continue to adhere to. If not, we might have to
define multiple DLT_ values for different flavors of radiotap; that wouldn't be
the ideal, but at least it'd mean that a file capture on one OS could be
interpreted by Wiretap (or tcpdump, or...) running on *any* OS.
