Re: at76c503a version 0.13 released!

The firmware on the card does not  allow for real monitor mode. It only
passes on the management beacons when not associated with an AP, so
these cards will never be able to truly scan for APs or  detect  hidden
APs unless someone starts messing w/ the firmware blob, which is far
beyond my skills.

Also, just wanted to say thank you so much to  the guys that have
brought this project back alive.
