I have fixed 2.4 support in CVS (all branches).  The drivers compiles,
but I wasn't able to test it on 2.4 kernels yet.

I'm not convinced that getting frames with bad CRC is a feature needed
by many users.  I see your patch adds some documentation to FAQ, but I
have never seen any questions about reporting frames with bad CRC in
monitor mode.  FAQ is not a replacement for documentation.  It should
answer questions that are actually asked by the users.
