[PATCH] WEP fields are incorrectly shown to be INSIDE snap in the doc
>If encryption is enabled, each fragment payload size is reduced by enough space >to add the prefix and postfix (IV and ICV totalling 8 bytes in the case of WEP) >So if you have 1500 bytes of payload with ieee->fts set to 500 without >encryption it will take 3 frames. With WEP it will take 4 frames as the >payload of each frame is reduced to 492 bytes. Text is correct, but in picture (IV,payload,ICV) sits inside SNAP. Patch corrects this.
