It's pretty tough actually but *should* be doable though I would much prefer to set it only after the interface is up I can see... Thing is that before the iface is up the interface mode isn't set in stone. So things like iwconfig eth1 blabla iwconfig eth1 mode monitor iwconfig eth1 mode managed ip link set eth1 up can probably never work properly. In any case, we ought to fix this though right now I don't know what the best way would be. johannes
