I don't know what it means, but I think wireless-dev should just copy
include/net/ieee80211_radiotap.h from wireless-2.6.  The later has more
fields, and it turns out they are approved by David Young, the radiotap
maintainer.

There is no reason mac80211 would need to change that file.

I sent a patch yesterday that removes this part altogether.

I'm fine with this patch, I'm just saying that adjusting the patch is
more work than copying the file.
