+Subject: [PATCH] ath5k: retain promiscuous setting
+
+Commit 56d1de0a21db28e41741cfa0a66e18bc8d920554, "ath5k: clean up
+filter flags setting" introduced a regression in monitor mode such
+that the promisc filter flag would get lost.
+
+Although we set the promisc flag when it changed, we did not
+preserve it across subsequent calls to configure_filter. This patch
+restores the original functionality.
+
+Cc: stable@kernel.org
+Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland <me@bobcopeland.com>
+---
+
+Note, a better fix would be to just unconditionally look at new_flags,
+but this is the minimal change for stable. I'll add fixing all this
+stuff up to my todo.
