Does anybody have/ think of a patch that removes the master interface
from the sub_if_list. It slows down the receive path. Second problem
with this is that the code becomes incorrect when opening receive path
for control packets. Meanwhile as a workaround I've changed iw_mode
of the master interface to invalid value instead of default
IEEE80211_IF_TYPE_AP.
I'm debugging this because I've been trying for two days without
success to get monitor mode to work. I have the adapter in promisc
mode and the interface in monitor mode. I can see directed and
broadcast traffic with tcpdump, but not directed traffic for other
nodes.
I've added debug printk to mac80211 and the non-directed packets are
making it to
ieee80211_rx_monitor and onto netif_rx. But they don't come out the
tcpdump interface. I don't have iptables loaded. What's eating these
packets in the higher layers?
