+Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: add back support for using active monitor interfaces
+ for tx99
+
+Various documented examples on how to set up tx99 with ath9k rely
+on setting up a regular monitor interface for setting the channel.
+My previous patch "ath9k: fix tx99 with monitor mode interface" made
+it possible to set it up this way again. However, it was removing support
+for using an active monitor interface, which is required for controlling
+the bitrate as well, since the bitrate is not passed down with a regular
+monitor interface.
+
+This patch partially reverts the previous one, but keeps support for using
+a regular monitor interface to keep documented steps working in cases
+where the bitrate does not matter
