This module analyses IEEE 802.11 frames either acquired using the WiFi monitoring feature (see TODO) or encapsulated in special packets (https://www.wireshark.org/docs/dfref/p/peekremote.html).

It also provides statistics when analyzing PCAPs with a Radiotap link type and IEEE 802.11 packets. | ||
