I hope that this won't be changed. We're talking about a virtual monitor interface that is in use while we're also operating on another virtual interface. > It sounds perfectly reasonable to not indicate these control frame > subtypes when in normal (non-monitor) mode since they are most likely > processed in hardware/microcode/firmware.

Again, we're only talking about frames we *sent*. There's a flag whether to pass up control frames or not though which can be set in monitor mode. johannes
