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 --=-9gC+RktfzbMnXO8aGC25 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Johannes Berg (powerbook) iQIVAwUAR2JyrqVg1VMiehFYAQLy/Q//awrOUlsV6wa3ZbHZ4tahN89HE//SeXiX nrS1kZZJDYPqSqvmYX9yG2bDVBRsGIcObfUge/7KBcV0NPPsHxXJeTe45sgPfN6j Dheu31MJn92x6Uz6XoL4yKs+ukHzibb0RpI71RTvoZteA3zFbcYmpJ2WOkccdtjN c4cUH4CKxW6WGV+kAFlcx9Q9l2fiuBFguQsEwwpW4RoOONqgYJ2dliZQSibscfOb Wx11iesLeSRyyYqPI+Bqaxgo/YRCRsFsx1n8RxP+sq0Xyabs1so7bIxlixtK04yU Q9QirHnJvl0Bsn4ZRxXHiaVrLOtogW+lJcA5J6Y5z70dJJT8ox9NMjonQKdqTVTU sUEKw0uFYx3RH/UQuyQviYQXcid2RWu9H63IzdKbpu6+0+FPhiDIxhSjhmIBW6I5 TwB5sey6IDk0YY8Nh4LZ5DBBsrTU90zb9omzcuSB6/gMcAZbyQ8ZqUlboD8qebvT utjgrzDHf+fwjLBm0Yop7367IZwwASYsK9Fo5zqorEzdcbdC/pBoGSwXHVXGbh90 YwP54FijJ3i+gGEqeGUsgjYHy180XwAsFgCykJ22u4ZeOxauj5wAnzWSU7dcAwNb KYtfDc4x2dHLMhoa7/Wak5MmLm4rWllKoAX1h1ap2Sj+wHd/ecnDqa6/OeaqZ/3j F8yv5+3BtCY= =FwUy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-9gC+RktfzbMnXO8aGC25--
