there has been a discussion about AVS or radiotap header on the ipw list that 
resulted in the inclusion of radiotap definitions in James' latest patches 
for ieee80211. Radiotap requires a libpcap upgrade, but can be extended 
easier. I'd like all linux wireless drivers to move to radiotap for statistic 
data so that userspace has just one format to parse, and a new driver would 
be a perfect target to begin.
