    [PATCH] libertas: monitor mode support for OLPC firmware · 965f8bbc
    Luis Carlos Cobo authored
    Driver support for the monitor mode support that will be available in the next
    OLPC 'bleeding edge' Marvell firmware release (most likely, 5.110.16.p2).
    
    To activate monitor mode,
    
    echo mode > /sys/class/net/{ethX,mshX}/device/libertas_rtap
    
    where mode is the hex mask that specifies which frames to sniff (in short, 0x1
    for data, 0x2 for all management but beacons, 0x4 for beacons). Any non zero
    mode will activate the monitor mode, inhibiting transmission in ethX and mshX
    interfaces and routing all the incoming traffic to a new rtapX interface that
    will output the packets in 802.11+radiotap headers format.
