"cook" and "none" only make sense while operating in a different mode at the same time. For "cook" you get frames that the kernel hasn't consumed. For "none" you don't influence the filters due to the monitor. I suspect you don't support concurrent operation, so neither of those makes sense. fcsfail/plcpfail are probably not supported. From what you say, "control" isn't supported either, since you were talking about management frames, not control frames. "otherbss" is for showing frames with a different BSSID, and in libertas monitor mode probably always enabled. I'd say don't bother with the flags at all. johannes
