Radio_tap_header is gnerated by the receiver wireless card . I tried this function and found no use . Infact the reciever wireless card recieves the radio_tap_header according to properties of the sender wireless card like channel , transmission rate etc . Please explain the use of get_radiotap_header and correct me if i am wrong ?

get_radiotap_header
is only used when transmitting frames with scapy-fakeap
. In monitor mode, you need to supply a RadioTap header so the wireless card knows what configuration to use when injecting packets. Current, get_radiotap_header
provides a hardcoded RadioTap header with some default settings such as a rate that is supported by most cards.
