He probably wants "wlan".  "wlan_fixed" was put in because I was under
the impression that some system's "802.11 with extra information"
headers would have 802.11 headers that were padded out to a fixed
length, but I've not seen that yet; "wlan_bsfc" is for frames with a
byte-swapped frame control field, as apparently show up in LWAPP frames
from some vendors.
