    It looks good.  I'll do a bit of testing with a HUB and then commit
    it.

Matt, since you are on it. I also took a look at IFF_STATICARP, but given that the ARP table seems to be now per CPU I got stuck. I really needed the monitor mode feature *fast* and I didn't spend much time reading the rest of the source. I would like to give IFF_STATICARP a try as well so I'd like to know if there are particular details that I should keep in mind. Thanks.

If it's not there, and you can't see it, you erased it.
