Support for monitor device intended to capture all the network activity. This interface could be used by networks sniffers and is already supported by WireShark. That's a good test point to check that basic MAC support works. Signed-off-by: Alexander Smirnov <alex.bluesman.smirnov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
