During testing a new driver, I got a problem to test a monitor mode at
802.11 vap I'm using.

# uname -a
FreeBSD kkk 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #6: Wed May 14 11:27:37 KST
2008     root_at_kkk:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

        country US authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpower 0 scanvalid 60
        protmode CTS

As seeing, it looks work but the problem is happend when I ran stumbler
(src/tools/tools/net80211/stumbler) program.

The error message is "ioctl(BIOCSDLT): Invalid argument" that it's
emitted to screen when I execute the following command:
# ./stumbler wlan0

Are there something I missed?

regards,
