Instead of calling ieee80211_recalc_txpower on monitor interfaces directly, call it using the virtual monitor interface, if one exists. In case of a single monitor interface given, reject setting TX power, if no virtual monitor interface exists. That being checked, don't warn in ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify, after setting TX power on a monitor interface.

I hope that makes sense?! It fixes the warning for me though.
