- Create netlink monitor interface if it does not exist
Currently the netlink monitor interface needs to be created manually
and also brought up. The iwmon utility could just automate this task
by using RTNL to find an existing netlink monitor interface, and in
case it does not exist, create a new one.
It might be beneficial that when iwmon terminates that it then also
removes the netlink monitor interface again (in case it created it).
Alternatively a command line option might be used for controlling
this behavior of creating and removing netlink monitor interfaces.
