The value in the packet details pane is probably the accurate one. I
see in epan/dissectors/packet-radiotap.c that the call for adding the
datarate to the protocol details pane divides the value rate by 2. The
custom column code is probably confused by this. Could you open a bug
report at https://bugs.wireshark.org to describe the problem you're
seeing so we don't lose track of it? Thanks!
