Hi, This patch is intended as a debugging aid for people working on the rtl8188eu driver. I'm posting it as an RFC in case it turns out useful for others. (Although I hope it won't be useful for long, if the recently proposed rtl8xxxu driver stands up to its name. ;-) The latest version of the patch will be maintained at: https://github.com/jsitnicki/linux.git branch rtl8188eu-monitor-iface I started working on it because debug logs from rtl8188eu driver got me nowhere when I wanted to see what was "going in and out". It has reached a working state where you can use TShark/Wireshark to analyze the flow of 802.11 frames: modprobe r8188eu monitor_enable=1 ip link set mon0 up tshark -i mon0 I've been testing it against v4.2, with hardware encryption, and only with CCMP (AES) cipher in use, but it should work with any. Feedback is welcome.
