[PATCH] AODV (RFC 3561) support for tcpdump

Hi all,

I send you this patch in order that I may have your advice. I've added
a module to tcpdump to decode AODV packets as per RFC 3561.
The only extension currently understood is HELLO.

I've submitted this to tcpdump at sourceforge, but I've been working with
a number of you on wi(4) related things, or have met you in person
recently, thus giving you 'heads up' and opportunity to review.
[Tracker ID 780993]

I haven't been able to test this extensively because:

I have 3 LocustWorld MeshBoxes here which don't seem to be speaking to each
other, and the solitary machine which does send AODV traffic is sending
type 69, which doesn't inspire confidence (but it seems someone's made off
with the passwords for them, too - all will probably be resolved when someone
gets back from holiday).

Yes, Dorothy, this is in lieu of a possible forthcoming BSD aodvd daemon.

Regards,
BMS
