The “Packet List” Pane
Add a new (not custom) column with type "IEEE 802.11 TX rate"
. The format is 24.0
without the Mbps
.
Looking at the code (packet-ppi.c) it seems the units should be there but its not.
rate_kbps = rate_raw * 500; ti = proto_tree_add_uint_format(ftree, hf_80211_common_rate, tvb, ptvcursor_current_offset(csr), 2, rate_kbps, "Rate: %.1f Mbps", rate_kbps / 1000.0); if (rate_kbps == 0) proto_item_append_text(ti, " [invalid]"); col_add_fstr(pinfo->cinfo, COL_TX_RATE, "%.1f Mbps", rate_kbps / 1000.0);
There is a sample capture on the Wireshark wiki:
File: http_PPI.cap Description: 802.11n capture with PPI encapsulation containing HTTP data.
It looks like packet-ieee80211-radio.c or packet-ieee80211-radiotap.c comes along later and overwrites the column string without the units:
col_add_fstr(pinfo->cinfo, COL_TX_RATE, "%.1f", data_rate);
Your other options would be to make your own fields with MATE
or Lua
.

Edit/Note: disabling protocol 802.11 Radio
in the sample capture results in the TX Rate column having the format that was set in packet-ppi.c
: 24.0 Mbps
