Comment # 5 on bug 10139 from 
Yup, it's happening.

For some reason, the PEEKREMOTE dissector is calling the "wlan_datapad"
dissector rather than the "wlan" dissector for the payload. The "wlan_datapad"
dissector was created to handle some Atheros hardware that, when running in
monitor mode, stuck padding in between the 802.11 header and the payload,
presumably to align the payload on a 4-byte boundary.  Radiotap includes a flag
to indicate that this is happening, so that the dissector can skip over the
padding.

Unless that padding is present in the packets that the APs are sending over the
wire, the boring old "wlan" dissector, not the "wlan_datapad" dissector, should
be called.
