Starting with Network Monitor 3.1, we've added a new Wifi Media type to
describe the meta data we are able to capture using Wireless Adapater
Management mode.

The Media type is 6, and is only store as per frame media type (See bug 4223).

As the parser definitions are included with the product, you can reference
wireless.npl as the source for the wireless header.  This file has also been
attached.  Starting with "Protocol WiFi" you should be able to determine the
structure of the packet.

You can ignore anything in square brackets [], in the parser code.

Tables are often used to describe the mapping of values to human readble text.

I've also attached a sample wireless capture.
