Hi Sunny,

Yes, if you put your device in monitor mode and parse the Radiotap header,
you can derive the data rate. For 802.11n, you need to combine multiple
fields because the data rate not only depends on the MCS but on the channel
width and guard interval length as well. It might be helpful to check the
Wireshark source code in this case.


Kind regards,
Pieter Robyns
