From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

For debugging I needed to look at the frames in a
wpa_supplicant debug log. Looking at the hexdump is
a bit tedious, so I wrote a quick script to convert
the nl80211 debugging output to a PCAP file that
can be opened in wireshark.

I've polished the initial raw script a bit to add
error messages and to also record the timestamps to
the pcap file.

Hopefully it's useful to somebody else as well.
