you obviously need the nl80211 hookup patch and pynl80211 at after or at
commit e99894da4ba56e0a493cc9e76d20bab8e3b0a96f but then watch:
# ip link
[indizes 1, 2, 3, 6, 17 snipped]
# ./wificonf.py add_virtual_interface 0 moni0 monitor
Success
# ip link
[indizes 1, 2, 3, 6, 17 snipped]
40: moni0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop
link/[802] 00:11:24:xx:xx:xx brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
# ./wificonf.py del_virtual_interface 0 moni0
Success
# ip link
[indizes 1, 2, 3, 6, 17 snipped]
# echo "Yes, it works! :D"
Yes, it works! :D
Oh and if you do get errors:
$ ./wificonf.py add_virtual_interface 0 abc monitor
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./wificonf.py", line 210, in ?
exit(exec_cmd(items['CMD'][argv[1]], argv[2:]))
File "./wificonf.py", line 186, in exec_cmd
m = conn.recv()
File "/home/johannes/Projects/cfg80211/tool/netlink.py", line 145, in
recv
raise OSError("Netlink error: %s (%d)"%(os.strerror(errno),errno))
OSError: Netlink error: Operation not permitted (1)
Not the nicest error reporting but hey.
