From befe47a84a22312e0547d04cd3d250b0e49ecf54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

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.

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.
