[ns] New Wireless trace format in ns 2.28.

[Gabriel Wang]

Hi Chris and all,

I tried adding line "$ns use-newtrace" to the attached sample "
simple-wireless.tcl" and it does give me the following new format.

s -t 0.029290548 -Hs 1 -Hd -1 -Ni 1 -Nx 390.00 -Ny 385.00 -Nz 0.00 -Ne -
1.000000 -Nl RTR -Nw --- 
-Ma 0 -Md 0 -Ms 0 -Mt 0 -Is 1.255 -Id -1.255 -It message -Il 32 -If 0 -Ii 0 
-Iv 32 
s -t 1.119926192 -Hs 0 -Hd -1 -Ni 0 -Nx 5.00 -Ny 2.00 -Nz 0.00 -Ne
-1.000000-Nl RTR -Nw --- -
...

However, I wonder under this new format how to get packet size and packet id 
information, which are usually needed for analysis?

Thank you very much for your help!

Regards,
Gabriel
