Subject: [BUG] IWL3945: Led doesn't blink in monitor mode

After fixing super annoying bug about garbage scan results,
I noticed smaller bug:

My wireless leds stop blinking if I enable monitor mode
(Note that this time this doesn't happen if I enable promisc mode)

Only module reload or recreation of wlan0 using iw  helps.
This is due to the fact that once card is put in monitor mode it stays 
there always.
(I will fix this bug when I have time)

But leds should work even in monitor mode.

Btw, do leds indicate RX activity or TX or both?

Best regards,

PS:

I will soon buy a standalone wireless card (pci express)
Are iwlwifi based cards aviable?
