Station statistics

Hi all,
Does anyone knows if the station statistics (rx_bytes and tx_bytes) that
the AP stores in /proc/net/prism2/wlan#/xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx for every
station takes into account the 802.11 overheads?
For instance, when the AP receives a packet of 500 bytes from the
associated station xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, it increments the rx_bytes
register in 536 bytes instead of 500 bytes. I have send an UDP packet
(MGEN) with 500 bytes of payload. Thus, 20 bytes for IP headers overhead
and 8 bytes more for IP headers which gives 28 bytes of overhead and no
36 bytes.
I will appreciate any comment,
Thanks,
Victor
