Command 'ifconfig ath0 -monitor' is supposed to clear 'monitor' mode. But it doesn't seem to make any difference. This is a very serious problem since after this interface isn't usable until reboot. It stays in 'monitor' mode (no packets go out or in). Same is true for ral0 device. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
