No, it can't really do that because you may actually want NM to control multiple virtual interfaces if your hardware supports multiple STA interfaces. NM should probably just be taught to not change the mode of an interface all the time unless explicitly requested by the user. Normal users will never have monitor interfaces. Hence, NM could display monitor interfaces as "moni0 (monitor mode)" and only when you click on them it asks "put into managed mode?" or something. johannes
