How to use packet injection with mac80211
=========================================
mac80211 now allows arbitrary packets to be injected down any Monitor Mode
interface from userland. The packet you inject needs to be composed in the
following format:

The injection code can also skip all other currently defined radiotap fields
facilitating replay of captured radiotap headers directly.

interface), along the following lines:
