Re: 802.11 + radio headers question...

That's true *if* neither the "To DS" nor the "From DS" flag is set in the

 This is indeed the case of the packets i am sniffing.

 in the case both are not set (TO DS and From DS ) then Address 1 is
destination , adress 2 is source  and address 3 is bssid , so there are
18bytes of addresses, then i get the 2 bytes of SEQ control ,  and 8 bytes
of 802.2 and SNAP ,  = 28 bytes ...

 I do know you are correct and i am wrong cause i do see 22 bytes gap. but i
am missing something in the documentation.
