Since your PHY can only be on one channel at a time, I suspect this
field isn't useful for injection. We certainly haven't implemented it in
Linux.

Certainly, for example the 0x0008 bit in
http://www.radiotap.org/suggested-fields/TX%20flags is useful only for
injection.

Maybe we need to clarify which fields are useful for injection and
should be supported if injection control is supported?
