ACK.

But this feature of zd1211 looks interesting. Johannes, shouldn't we
add a parameter to cfg80211 allowing such packets to be received by
monitor iterfaces?

Daniel, does zd1211 send information about failed CRC check with the
packet? Or do we need to recheck CRC in the stack if the feature
mentioned above is implemented and there are both regular and monitor
interface operating?

Thanks,

 Jiri
