I am working on a kernel module that calls dev_add_pack() to register for
802_2 packets by setting the wifi interface into monitor mode.

I am using both ath9k and ath5k devices.  For the ath9k device, I was
receiving all the packets, while with the ath5k device I was only seeing
broadcast packets.

I started seeing all the packets from the ath5k device when I used ifconfig
to set the monitoring wifi interface into promiscuous mode.  I am not using
libpcap.

Is this considered a bug or should I need to set the interface to
promiscuous mode?

Thank you,
