/**
 * @brief Radiotap header implementation
 *
 * Radiotap is a de facto standard for 802.11 frame injection and reception. 
 * The radiotap header format is a mechanism to supply additional information 
 * about frames, from the driver to userspace applications such as libpcap, and 
 * from a userspace application to the driver for transmission. 
 *
 * @warning the radiotap header specification says that the fields included in
 * the header should be aligned to their natural ize (e.g., 16-bit fields 
 * aligned to 16-bit boundaries, 32-bit fields aligned to 32-bit boundaries, 
 * and so on.  This implementation does not enforce this.  However, the radiotap
 * specification enforces an order in which fields have to appear (if they 
 * appear), and this ordering is such that, provided you don't leave gaps, all
 * fields will end up aligned without the need of inserting padding space.  By 
 * the term "gap" I mean not using a field which would appear between two used 
 * fields.  Moral: don't leave gaps, or if you do be careful about how you
 * do it.
