Don't call ieee80211_debugfs_recreate_netdev() for virtual monitor interface when deleting it. The virtual monitor interface shouldn't have debugfs entries and trying to update them will *create* them on deletion. And when the virtual monitor interface is created/destroyed multiple times we'll get warnings about debugfs name conflicts. Signed-off-by: Alexander Wetzel <Alexander@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- That was a bit more tricky than expected: local->monitor_sdata is normally already deleted when we call drv_remove_interface. And we can't simply skip the call for all monitor interfaces... And one additional remark: My iwlmvm card is not taking it well when I bring down the monitor interface while TXing on it. The firmware crashes for my "Alder Lake-S PCH CNVi WiFi" card. But that also happens with unpatched kernels and so I don't care much about that. I can make a bug report, if that's news and want you to look into that.
