Thanks guys I have got it now.
However that only accounts for the ath10k, iwldvm, and iwlmvm drivers. I
realise that there is a lot of history here, but is what the remaining
drivers doing in any way deprecated? Also can anyone give me a heads up on
what the architectural difference is between hooking the monitor config
change and and setting the want monitor flag. Is one way preferable to the
other? Both seem to inform the driver that there is a transition between
having no monitor virtual interfaces and having one or more.
Cheers,
Roger
