From 810711ec13a9424633df50e0a1af057a68e2ed45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Slava Shwartsman Date: Wed, 16 May 2018 08:43:08 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Vendor import two upstream commits: c1bb8784abd3ca978e376b0d10e324db0491237b 9c4af7213cc2543a1f5586d8f2c19f86aa0cbe72 When using tcpdump -I -i wlanN and wlanN is not a monitor mode VAP, tcpdump will print an error message saying rfmon is not supported. Give a concise explanation as to how one might solve this problem by creating a monitor mode VAP.
