- * On Fedora 9, with a 2.6.26.3-29 kernel, my Zydas stick, at
- * least, has a "wmaster0" device and a "wlan0" device; the
- * latter is the one with the IP address. Both show up in
- * "tcpdump -D" output. Capturing on the wmaster0 device
- * captures with 802.11 headers.
- *
- * airmon-ng searches through /sys/class/net for devices named
- * monN, starting with mon0; as soon as one *doesn't* exist,
- * it chooses that as the monitor device name. If the "iw"
- * command exists, it does "iw dev {if} interface add {monif}
- * type monitor", where {monif} is the monitor device. It
- * then (sigh) sleeps .1 second, and then configures the
- * device up. Otherwise, if /sys/class/ieee80211/{phydev}/add_iface
- * is a file, it writes {mondev}, without a newline, to that file,
- * and again (sigh) sleeps .1 second, and then iwconfig's that
- * device into monitor mode and configures it up. Otherwise,
- * you can't do monitor mode.
- *
- * All these devices are "glued" together by having the
- * /sys/class/net/{device}/phy80211 links pointing to the same
- * place, so, given a wmaster, wlan, or mon device, you can
- * find the other devices by looking for devices with
- * the same phy80211 link.
- *
- * To turn monitor mode off, delete the monitor interface,
- * either with "iw dev {monif} interface del" or by sending
- * {monif}, with no NL, down /sys/class/ieee80211/{phydev}/remove_iface
- *
- * Note: if you try to create a monitor device named "monN", and
- * there's already a "monN" device, it fails, as least with
- * the netlink interface (which is what iw uses), with a return
- * value of -ENFILE. (Return values are negative errnos.) We
- * could probably use that to find an unused device.
- *
- * Yes, you can have multiple monitor devices for a given
- * physical device.
