See the attachments. These patches fix two bugs:
o A crash in if_run when using VNET in the kernel.
o The correctness of the information passed to the radiotap code in if_run.

I think the last patch may fix the crash you are seeing with if_run and 
wpa_supplicant. If you only want to test that part, you just have to patch 
if_run.c with the file 'if_run_2013_01_19_radiotap_fix_only.diff' .

In case the attachments get mangled in the email, you can also download these 
files from : http://www.vitsch.nl/pub_diffs/
The following files should be attached to this email :
	if_run_2013_01_19_radiotap_fix_only.diff
	if_run_2013_01_19_vnet_fix.diff
	if_run_2013_01_19_vnet_plus_radiotap_fix.diff

All patches are:
