Fixed. I hope I did not forget it for other functions.

Done.


I have added the support for data and control frames. 

Almost all fields in 802.11 frames are supposed to be little endian.
As I am working on x86, that was not very difficult to achieve.
However, on ppc or sparc ... Thus, I added a file
include/libnet/libnet-swab.h to force the endianness. However, I could
not perform tests on big endian machines. So, if one  of you could
test that it is correct, that would be a great help !


There are 2 things to do now to have a cool 802.11 support:
  - wep encryption support
  - the injection itself

Feel free to send me comments about the 802.11 API: it needs to be
really user-friendly and easy to use as there are some many fun to get
on 802.11 networks ;)
