Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] wiretap - using as a library rather than coupled with Wiresh

Sure, I appreciate this. Done for practical reasons, not as a final solution.

From what I can see, peektagged has no TSF timestamp (I've yet to . My understanding is airopeek etc. will use hardware timestamps when available, which have much better resolution and accuracy than the TSF.

I'll be looking into peektagged in a bit more detail, but for now what I have is good enough for a POC.

"RT" as in "radiotap"?

If so, the packet timestamp should not be used as the TSF timestamp value; instead, if the PHDR_802_11_HAS_TSF_TIMESTAMP bit is set in the presence_flags field of the "struct ieee_802_11_phdr" pseudo-header, use the tsf_timestamp field of that structure as the TSFT field in the radiotap header, otherwise don't put a TSFT field into the radiotap header.
