Add the following config entries for the ipw2200 driver to
drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig
* IPW2200_MONITOR
enables Monitor mode
* IPW2200_QOS
enables QoS feature - this is under development right now, so it depends
upon EXPERIMENTAL
driver compiles and enters monitor mode.

I think you made a copy&paste error here. QoS is enabling monitor mode.
You probably meant IPW_QOS.
I have made a stupid copy&paste error: QoS option is named IPW_QOS not
IPW2200_MONITOR. Spotted by Daniel Paschka, thanks.

Hi,
I believe that people had decided not to incorporate this
feature. Basically the IPW2200 will get too many firmware restarts on
rfmon, making the feature unusable. I don't think we want this option at
all so far. (Until there's a valid fix for the problem)
