First of all, this data is never actually directly derived from the wifi packet (certainly not any pointers or the band enum!), even the PLCP contains different encodings. Thus there's always already a translation in driver or firmware. Now of course we shouldn't trust firmware either, but even then there are a lot of places, I'd think this is better done at the driver level. johannes
