For the record, you can check out my branch via from:
https://www.cgran.org/cgran/projects/bbn_80211/branches/douggeiger

I am able to decode some packets through the USRP1.  Bear in mind, this
is not the full-bandwidth (SPAN) 802.11b decoder.  Although porting that
over to the hier_block2 API should be basically the same. In the
meantime, I welcome any other testers looking at 802.11b to try my code out.
