Sort of. Since it'll be an 802.11 protocol thing, you won't be getting any signal strength information etc. You really do need that. > and > raw packet transmission. Same here, you really do want to be able to submit a frame with the bitrate to use etc. All not part of 802.11. All the meta info you want from RX or need for proper TX cannot be transported over that master netdev since it'll have a proper 802.11 protocol, so it's pretty much useless. johannes
