At least in the source to the 2.6.24.2 kernel I downloaded from
kernel.org, the hostap driver doesn't appear to support radiotap
headers. If that's the case, you will not be able to get radiotap
headers from your adapter, as the software doesn't support it.
("iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor" isn't guaranteed to turn on radiotap
headers - especially if the driver for the adapter is incapable of
generating radiotap headers; it just puts the adapter into monitor
mode, which might have no radio header, or might have the Prism or AVS
radio header rather than the radiotap header.)
