Unknown data-link type (127) (Pcap::PcapError)

[brundage]

When trying to capture packets from a wireless NIC in monitor mode I get this error

capture/ip.rb:20:in 'each_packet': Unknown data-link type (127) (Pcap::PcapError)

Network configurations:

Looks like ruby-pcap only understands the first 14 link-layer header types. It appears there are actually 256.
