From: Ivo van Doorn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Latest dscape patches have broken rt2x00,
fix compile issues, and support the new features.

You should not set this to 1 if you support only one interface at a
time. Please add support for concurrent running of one regular (i.e.
STA, IBSS, AP, WDS) interface plus arbitrary number of monitor
interfaces or set monitor_during_oper to 0.

(Yes, I know, I definitely must reserve some time to write a
documentation about monitor mode support.)

Thanks,

My fault, this was a leftover from my initial patch for the dscape update.
I actually had written some code to indeed allow multiple monitor
mode interfaces. But I spotted some problems with it, and removed the code
and planned to rewrite it later after I had send this code series.
I'll create a quick patch to correctly set the monitor_during_oper variable,
because the patch for correct monitor mode behaviour might take some time.
