I'm all for adding it to crda as no-transmit but, is that a valid flag?  
Also, how well does it work?  From a monitor mode interface you can 
inject raw packets out of the interface.  Would just adding 
"no-transmit" into the crda line work?  I certainly don't see this in 
the crda code anywhere, nor in the definition of regdb file.  I presume 
this has to be added?

Thanks,
