Checked in and pushed.  (Applied with git apply; can "git am" read  
from a patch file such as that, rather than from a full e-mail  
message, and, if not, is there some git command other than git-am for  
applying patches that automatically picks up author information?)

Note, of course, that if libpcap is built without libnl, applications  
using pcap_set_rfmon() - e.g., tcpdump with the -I flag - will attempt  
to use the Wireless Extensions to turn on monitor mode, even on  
devices with mac80211 drivers, rather than creating a new monitor-mode  
device and capturing on that.
