I believe the problem is that the output write path isn't implemented,
or that it expects Ethernet frames.

At BBN we have implemented sending raw 802.11 frames.  Our changes are
relative to current from august.  Unfortunately they are a bit
involved, and need to be cleaned up a bit and proposed for
integration.

Our code can be found at
