Requiring refcounting for monitor interfaces is fairly dumb since mac80211 
does the exact same refcounting. I haven't bothered to do it in any driver 
ports yet for this reason. This part of the mac80211 driver api needs to be 
fixed.

Also, I'm not entirely convinced that eliminating the open/close callbacks is 
a good idea, which is why I continued to use them in the zd1211rw port.
