--- Comment #4 from Guy Harris <g...@alum.mit.edu> ---
This could be a libpcap issue; no OS makes monitor mode support easy, but Linux
isn't making it as relatively easy as it is on, for example, macOS. Supporting
it inside libpcap requires complicated code and, for mac80211 interfaces, the
code currently requires libnl, but linking libpcap with libnl causes issues if
libpcap uses a version of libnl different from the one an application using
libpcap is using, so most distributions don't build libpcap with libnl, so it
doesn't handle monitor mode as well as it could.
