1. Allocate another DLT specifically for Radiotap+WiMAX

What's the group's thoughts on these options, and which would be most
preferred?  #1 seems easiest, and #2 seems most logical.

I prefer #1 - it's easier, *and* it seems more logical to me; the most important thing about a capture would seem to me to be the link-layer type, not the fact that it has radio information.
