3 Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mac80211: fix vif addr when switching from monitor
6 Since adding support for opting out of virtual monitor support, a zero vif
7 addr was used to indicate passive vs active monitor to the driver.
8 This would break the vif->addr when changing the netdev mac address before
9 switching the interface from monitor to sta mode.
10 Fix the regression by adding a separate flag to indicate whether vif->addr
