[Click] athXraw interface in madwifi

Hello All,

I am using Click Modular Router for implementing 802.11s Mesh point
with kernel 2.6.19.2(on FC8) patched with CLICK and Latest Madwifi
(version 0.9.3). My problem is that I need to enable Raw Wireless
interface along with normal 802.11 stack. I am unable to use only
monitor mode for RAW interface but that bypasses 802.11 stack and thus
all acks generation, CRC errors detection has to be done by click.

I know i can use madwifi.stripped driver on 2.4.x kernel but i have to
stick to 2.6.X kernel. From some previous post i found how to enable
it for BSD but i have to work it for Linux.

If any one has experience with how to enable raw interface(called as
(Phony device)athXraw interface in previous posts) along with normal
802.11 stack,  please share it here.

thanks and regards
