From d36877652012f337eedca89d938590e298900787 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Tue, 28 May 2013 13:01:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: support an active monitor interface flag An active monitor interface is one that is used for communication (via injection). It is expected to ACK incoming unicast packets. This is useful for running various 802.11 testing utilities that associate to an AP via injection and manage the state in user space.
