Subject: Reading the current monitor flags of an interface
Date: Sat, 2 Jan 2016 16:27:30 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5687FA72.9000301@beardandsandals.co.uk> (raw)
Hi,
I am trying to get at the current monitor flags setting of a wireless
monitor mode virtual interface. I have tried to do this by hacking the
iw source. However I never see a NL80211_ATTR_MNTR_FLAGS attribute
returned in response to the
TOPLEVEL(info, NULL, NL80211_CMD_GET_INTERFACE, 0, CIB_NETDEV,
handle_interface_info,
"Show information for this interface.");
command in iw's interface.c code.
Questions.
1. Am I wasting my time? (e.g. the rt2800usb driver never returns this
info, or there is another easy way of viewing this info, etc)
2. Am I doing something stupid? (e.g. I need to specify some additional
flags to the get command.)
3. Has anybody else tried this before?
All help will be gratefully received.
Roger
