- 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.

Wireless monitor
|
||||||
|
================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Netlink monitor interface is created if it does not exist
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The iwmon utility automates netlink monitor creation by by using RTNL
|
||||||
|
to find an existing netlink monitor interface, and in case it does not
|
||||||
|
exist, create a new one. By default the netlink monitor interface is
|
||||||
|
named 'nlmon'. Another name can be given with the '--interface'
|
||||||
|
command line option.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once iwmon terminates, the netlink monitor interface is removed (in
|
||||||
|
case iwmon created it).
