So short of introducing a NETDEV_UP_FAIL hook that closes NETDEV_PRE_UP, which I don't want to do right now, I don't see a way to fix the monitor issue. This mostly reverts back to the old code, but keeps the monitor interface accounting so we can reject setting the monitor channel. johannes -- 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
