Description Michael Zanetta 2005-12-06 15:50:11 UTC 
Hello,

The orinoco driver prevent the monitor mode for orinoco cards that have a
firmware superior to 8.00.
strip from the NEWS
"
0.15rc2 - 28 Jul 2004

* orinoco_pci saves PCI registers on suspend (Simon Huggins).
* Monitor mode disabled on Agere 8.xx firmware - it's broken.
* BAP timeout increased - needed for Intersil firmware.
"

Attached is a patch to allow user to force the monitor mode anyway.

Thanks in advance
