Dunno. bcm43xx has this feature too, it even allows you to bypass the
second CRC check in the PLCP header. Picks up your microwave with
that ;)

Maybe take this into account for the driver API when implementing
IFF_PROMISC as we talked about?

bcm43xx doesn't tell you when the CRC failed, nor does it tell you when
the PLCP CRC failed (if you want to see those frames). Hence, we'd have
to recheck the CRC(s).
