What's the current status of the monitor-mode patches for the Airport (older 802.11b-only cards) kernel module? Six months ago I was able to apply a patch posted in July '03 by Jens Schmalzing to the 2.4.23-benh tree, but with partial success. The resulting kernel compiled fine and monitor mode worked, but my system would only run for a brief period of time before 'ksoftirqd_CPU0' ran out of control, consuming 99% of processor time.
Are there any plans to roll the monitor-mode driver patches into the main kernel tree at some point in the future? If not, why? Paul
