So is the idea that, in the first radiotap-namespace block, there will be no per-antenna information such as the antenna signal - the only per-antenna information will be in the subsequent namespace blocks?

Context: somebody asked on ask.wireshark.org about a capture from a D-Link router running OpenWRT; he claims that the router has 2 antennas, but the capture has 3 antenna signal strength values, the first of which is in the first radiotap namespace:
