Then we were talking about different drivers. The monitor mode patch had
a serious bug. Some control frames were erroneously classified as
"oversized" and dropped. I fixed it while applying the patch to CVS.
If you want a stable, supported driver with monitor mode support, the CVS
version is the only choice. I hope we'll have a release soon, but we
don't have it yet. I'm not interested in problems with obsolete drivers
with patches that have never been applied.
The CVS version supports kernels 2.4.10 and newer. If you have problems
with compiling and installing it for your setup please report your
problems and I'll try to fix them.
