Eek. No *new* fake packets any more please.
Just curious, why is that evil? It seems if the usermode MLME is
interested in what are basically Out Of Band 1Mbps management packets
that share the same air as the payload packets and so appear on Monitor
mode interfaces, then a local OOB class of packet doesn't break such new
ground. And it does neatly fit the communication semantic already used.
