Thanks Josh.

I stopped maintaining Wifitap. The reason why Wifitap wouldn't work on
recent systems is most probably because of Radiotap header. It misses a
chunk of ocde to detect whether or not there is a specific header and
skip it. That's where the ugly BPF filter comes in play at the
beginning. Should have fixed that already... My bad....

I concur though: airtun-ng is a way better alternative now. Wifitap was
developed as a proof of concept, not as a mainstream tool, with
educational purposes in mind. Python is slow, but human readable. My
code is to some respect pretty ugly, but it made my point when I needed
to.
