Hi Deren,

this IEEE80211_CONF_MONITOR flags indicates there is a monitor interface,
not it is the only one so we can have multiple vifs on the device
(e.g. AP + monitor). I was wondering if CH_SWITCH_SCAN_BYPASS_DPD is used
to avoid transmitting packets during chip calibration on DFS channels.

Lorenzo
