In the fields 'flags' 'status' 'flagsN', after doing a binary conversion,
please follow the representation of each bits:
field 'flag'
0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |- Is a Dot11 Control type frame
| | | | | | |------ Has CRC error
| | | | | |----------- Has frame error
| | | | |---------------- -nil-
| | | |--------------------- -nil-
| | |-------------------------- -nil-
| |------------------------------- -nil-
|------------------------------------ -nil-
field 'status'
0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |- -nil-
| | | | | | |------ -nil-
| | | | | |----------- Dot11 WEP
| | | | |---------------- With decrypt error
| | | |--------------------- -nil-
| | |-------------------------- -nil-
| |------------------------------- With short preamble
|------------------------------------ -nil-
field 'flagsN'
(first 23 bits) 0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1 0/1
