Description
Hello! Does npcap support sending raw 802.11 packages to the radio broadcast? I form the packet: radiotap + 802.11 header, I send via the PacketSendPacket function, the packets accumulate in the buffer, and if the capture works, I see them. But on the radio broadcast there are not (I scan the second adapter).
If this function is implemented in npcap, tell me, please, how to call and use it correctly.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the PacketSendPacket entry point and the reported radiotap and 802.11 packet path. Reproduce whether packets accumulate in the buffer without appearing on the radio, using the second adapter as the reported observation point. Done requires a documented answer about raw Wi-Fi injection support and its correct usage, or a clearly scoped implementation plan.
