I want to set the monitor mode on in the driver programmatically as there are some other things i am doing for which the driver is required to be in the monitor mode.
I wanted to be sure if (is_monitoring, defined in ath_hw) is the correct flag to be set. Is it right to set the *changed* variable by using IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_MONITOR, as written before.
