   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.
