Code refactoring
Hi Ivan,
I had some issues with airodump-ng a while back ago (Segfaults..). I got to thinking about using scapy for the workaround and came across your code on github.
As we're using different drivers, I had to remove the usage of scapy_ex.py from the codebase. Whomever wrote the original scapy_ex.py, did not take into account the fact that different wifi drivers, produce difference bytes for a given field/flag. As well, scapy_ex.py will shift the bytes around, making the packets useless from a wireshark(pkts) standpoint.
airodump-iv.py might work well for your machine/NIC, but on mine it has tons of errors, hence removing the scapy_ex. The downside of this is that things aren't unified in the sense that scapy_ex tried to do. If you look in lib/, you'll see some modules. As time goes forward, I plan to add the offsets for ath, ath9k, and wl12xx. For the most part, ath and ath9k are the same, but wl12xx changes things up a bit.
Anywho, this PR is attempt to see if you're interested in getting this code back to an active development status. Definitely willing to help out and excited to do so, if you'll let me =)
Thoughts?
heya - i'm not maintaining this anymore. i'd be happy to transfer the repo to you.
@ivanlei I would love to take over it. I'll make sure to keep it up to date, etc =)
