Thanks, this works at least most of the time.

But, it seems if I have another vif up, it will fail, even if that
vif is (should be?) using the exact same frequency.

./local/sbin/iw phy wiphy0 interface add moni0 type monitor
./local/sbin/ip link set dev moni0 up
./local/sbin/iw dev moni0 set freq 5180 80 5210
-> yields error:
command failed: Device or resource busy (-16)


I'm not absolutely certain the monitor device still works
properly or not, but it at least mostly works.

Thanks,
Ben
