From 53e9b1de6840d9047f768878adcbd1d116f72aca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Gnedt Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2010 20:44:02 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: set carrier on for monitor interfaces on ieee80211_open If a station interface is reused as monitor interface it is possible that the carrier is still set to off. This breaks packet injection on that monitor interface. Force the carrier on in monitor interface initialisation like it is also done for other interface types (e.g. adhoc, mesh point, ap).
