Using the Radiotap Parser
-------------------------

If you are having to parse a radiotap struct, you can radically simplify the
job by using the radiotap parser that lives in net/wireless/radiotap.c and has
its prototypes available in include/net/cfg80211.h.  You use it like this:

#include <net/cfg80211.h>

/* buf points to the start of the radiotap header part */

int MyFunction(u8 * buf, int buflen)
{
	int pkt_rate_100kHz = 0, antenna = 0, pwr = 0;
	struct ieee80211_radiotap_iterator iterator;
	int ret = ieee80211_radiotap_iterator_init(&iterator, buf, buflen);

	while (!ret) {

		ret = ieee80211_radiotap_iterator_next(&iterator);

		if (ret)
			continue;

		/* see if this argument is something we can use */

		switch (iterator.this_arg_index) {
		/*
		 * You must take care when dereferencing iterator.this_arg
		 * for multibyte types... the pointer is not aligned.  Use
		 * get_unaligned((type *)iterator.this_arg) to dereference
		 * iterator.this_arg for type "type" safely on all arches.
		 */
		case IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_RATE:
			/* radiotap "rate" u8 is in
			 * 500kbps units, eg, 0x02=1Mbps
			 */
			pkt_rate_100kHz = (*iterator.this_arg) * 5;
			break;

		case IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_ANTENNA:
			/* radiotap uses 0 for 1st ant */
			antenna = *iterator.this_arg);
			break;

		case IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_DBM_TX_POWER:
			pwr = *iterator.this_arg;
			break;

		default:
			break;
		}
	}  /* while more rt headers */

	if (ret != -ENOENT)
		return TXRX_DROP;

	/* discard the radiotap header part */
	buf += iterator.max_length;
	buflen -= iterator.max_length;

	...

 * This function initializes an opaque iterator struct which can then

 *
 * How to use:
 * call __ieee80211_radiotap_iterator_init() to init a semi-opaque iterator
 * struct ieee80211_radiotap_iterator (no need to init the struct beforehand)
 * checking for a good 0 return code.  Then loop calling
 * __ieee80211_radiotap_iterator_next()... it returns either 0,
 * -ENOENT if there are no more args to parse, or -EINVAL if there is a problem.
 * The iterator's @this_arg member points to the start of the argument
 * associated with the current argument index that is present, which can be
 * found in the iterator's @this_arg_index member.  This arg index corresponds
 * to the IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_... defines.
 *
 * Radiotap header length:
 * You can find the CPU-endian total radiotap header length in
 * iterator->max_length after executing ieee80211_radiotap_iterator_init()
 * successfully.
 *
 * Alignment Gotcha:
 * You must take care when dereferencing iterator.this_arg
 * for multibyte types... the pointer is not aligned.  Use
 * get_unaligned((type *)iterator.this_arg) to dereference
 * iterator.this_arg for type "type" safely on all arches.
