I have some hex for WLAN frames. This includes radio PLCP header as
well as PLCP preamble.

I've tried using text2pcap with -l 127 and 163, but i always get "0
packets read, 0 packets written"

i tried this both with and without PLCP preamble(sync+SFD), which i
figure is probably not included.

Is there a formatting or some other issue? below is the simplest form
of a frame which i tried:


0001 50 20 0C C0 14 E3 01 00 00 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF
0002 00 D0 61 85 C3 02 00 D0 61 85 C3 02 0B 04 C9 4E
0003 1C 5E AA 00 00 00 26 00 84 00 00 10 86 4E AE 46
0004 86 B4 86 0E 80 20 41 21 D0 68 C0 80 80 4C 10 30
0005 48 18 24 0C 12 06 36 54 80 40 E0 60 AA CA 04 80
0006 D0 D8 04 80 70 D5 D0 00 D0 61 40 80 00 80 50 00
0007 D0 D0 A0 20 00 80 00 00 19 92 6F AF


i also tried flipping endieness just to make sure, but nothing gives
me a valid frame

if someone could even just send back an example text file in some
other format and the text2pcap options used it would probably be
helpful.


sorry if this is a repeat, but i couldnt find any resources and i've
been looking at the rfmon and some other links for a while now....



thanks
