It's complicated. The interface has radiotap+802.11 type, so on the one hand it should have 802.11 header. On the other hand, having what went to the hardware can be helpful. However, I don't think we can get around the radiotap+802.11 type in any way. > How important will this be for Ethernet tx changes? I am running out > of thoughts. Well I think it's something we should consider when we look at this path. Hopefully nobody who really cares about performance has the monitor stuff active - although we're thinking of ways to push down filters to make that less expensive. johannes
