I may be totally wrong here, but AFAIK, they're not - due to increased power usage, while associated to AP and in standby mode. The fix for it would require osso-something, that is now waiting to get released in CSSU-Testing.

AFAIK (again), kernel-power just provide those drivers (for now, as later, they may be used by default), so they can be loaded without keeping them in some folder - isn't Cleven doing it this way?

Anyway, I've tested it a second ago, and while Monitor mode work without loading injection drivers, injection itself doesn't (surprise ). It starts, but doesn't inject anything, even when requirements (MAC from allowed list, ARP catched etc) are meet. No problem with Injection drivers under same conditions.

// Edit

It may be worth to mention, that I've found how to finally *properly* fix a eons-old bug with icon. Just put faircrack.png it into '/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps', then, in .desktop file, modify line icon=faircrack (*without* .png).

All the trick is that default icon path is '/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps', so desktop looks there, unless specified otherwise (via icon path or something) in .desktop file.

This way, icon is displayed properly in desktop, but also in menu etc. I've fixed *every* program with wrong .desktop file and icon location on my device, this way.

One reminder - reboot is *mandatory* after this, or you'll be fooled by "no-icon". There are ways to restart things, but they don't work reliably (sometimes works, sometimes doesn't), so before You conclude "it doesn't work" - and switch it back to full icon path - reboot device.
