I can fix it if you like. > If you can, please fix it - I know what the bug is, but have no solid idea about a fix. (The long-term fix of course would be to make mac80211 say NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR for monitor interfaces, but AFAIK it is impossible or unwanted - Johannes can probably shed more light on this. One thing is sure: saying NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION when only a monitor interface is active is wrong; it should be IFTYPE_MONITOR, or if that is impossible, IFTYPE_INVALID.) -- Vista: [V]iruses, [I]ntruders, [S]pyware, [T]rojans and [A]dware. :-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
