Severity: wishlist

The iwl3945 wifi driver does only have a limited support of the Monitor 
mode: only beacon are captured, no data. In order to have the monitor 
mode work properly, a patch must be applied.

I have opened a bug in the kernel bug tracker:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10593

A patch has been proposed:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=120995431512335&w=2

I have been able to apply this patch to the Debian kernel source and the 
resulting kernel allowed a fully founctionnal Monitor mode.

Could you apply this patch to the official Debian kernel,

Thanks,

Antoine
