Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: separate monitor/subif_start_xmit
Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2007 15:39:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1182433144.21939.6.camel@johannes.berg> (raw)

This patch separates the monitor interface start_xmit from the
subif start xmit (those other devices have 802.3 framing, monitor
interfaces have radiotap framing)
