Q: how to turn off monitor mode on airport?

I stepped away from my Mac (MBP2011) and returned only to find that my airport has a eye on the icon and when I click on the icon it states Monitor Mode: ON and is grayed out, how do I fix this?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion, Unified Systems-Mac, Windows, Linux

EASSY I Found it, Run "top" in terminal and look for "airportd" and in the left check the PID number, mine is "1748", now hit Ctrl+C to exit out of "top" now run "sudo kill 1748" (change the number based on your PID) and there you go, now connect to wifi and you're good to go.
