Thanks so much for the info Johannes. I did notice that rx_status was getting full. I'll go ahead and put it in skb->data, that's a good idea.

Hello all:
I was just trying to use the latest stable backports-3.18-rc1-1 and I
noticed that there is no longer structure members in the
ieee80211_rx_status structure for Vendor namespace information?  In my
backports 3.14 version I used them to add some register information to
the radiotap header in the lab. How does one use the vendor name space
without those structure members?
We removed this from the Linux kernel because there was no driver using
it and we needed the space for other purposes. That said, it shouldn't
be too difficult to put it back by keeping the OUI/subtype also in the
skb->data rather than the rx_status (which is now full enough to no
longer have space for it, I believe)
