Awkward FCfield API

[redfast00]

Brief description

How am I meant to access the to-DS field in a Dot11.FCfield in a Pythonic way? I can access for example the retry field by using fcfield.retry, but of course, fcfield.to-DS is not valid syntax. getattr(fcfield, 'to-DS') and the same with setattr works, but is very ugly. Is there a better way to read/set this bit field?

That's a bit crappy, you are right.
I believe that you can do

if 'to-DS' in pkt.FCfield

but we probably should look into renaming this.

Good that this will be renamed :) This is not the only 'impossible' field name in the codebase, so maybe it makes sense to check the names at runtime with a regex?

Another issue I have is setting the value, but I'm using setattr in the meantime.
