Cool:

I am glad I am not imaging things.  Just installed 5.1 on laptop
and now can't get it into monitor mode or dstubler to work (yes did portuprade
on bsd-airtools) too.

In Free 5.0, things seemed to be working fine (i.e rfmon &dstumbler),
 but now that I have moved to 5.1, they are on the fritz .
