PATCH: Adds support for 802.11 data packets

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The ieee802.11 module was not able to handle data packets, so I added some 
support. 

Please review and let me know how I can better handle optional and 
multi-purpose fields. I believe I also have more work to do before I can 
properly pack a DATA packet back into a buffer (I haven't tested it).

PS: Consider moving to Github? ;-)

Hi Mark,

Sorry it took forever, but I just added an IEEE80211 patch that supports DATA 
frames. Let me know if it works for you. It also includes support for unpacking 
IEs from management frames. I haven't tried packing the packets back into a 
buffer. Let me know what your success is with that.

When will the changes in this patch be committed to the baseline? I noticed the 
attached patch notes for the ieee80211.py are newer than what is in the 1.8 
baseline.
Thanks!

Looks like some of the changes from the patch made it, but some did not (action 
frames are still not supported, for example). Can you please attach a packet 
(or packets) that are not parsed correctly and I'll look into fixing this up?
