I already noticed that the new BPF code doesn't check the
link-type in the PPI header properly: the check against the linktype should be done before checking if the frame is a data frame.

Should any packets with a linktype other than DLT_IEEE802_11_RADIO pass the filter? (If so, that would significantly complicate the BPF compiler, as it'd have to generate code for multiple linktypes in the same program.)
