================
- Add support for Information Element (IE) decoding
Several netlink attributes provide binary blobs representing IEs. Add
support for decoding them inline using the src/ie.c infrastructure.
Priority: Medium
Complexity: C1
- Subscribe to all nl80211 multicast groups at startup
It seems the nlmon packets are limited to actual subscribed mutlicast
groups. To get a complete picture of all the nl80211 commands and
events, it is required that iwmon adds membership to all multicast
groups that the nl80211 lists.
This means that the netlink socket used for resolving nl80211 family
name needs to be kept option and actively processed since it will also
receive these multicast events. However the event itself can be dropped
since the one from nlmon with the proper kernel level timestamps should
be taken into account.
Priority: Medium
Complexity: C1
- Add support for receiving kernel side timestamps
When packets are received from nlmon, they should be marked with an
appropiate timestamp. Enable SO_TIMESTAMP socket option.
Priority: Medium
Complexity: C1
- Colorize the command, response and event packets
Use terminal colors to separate command, response and event packets
with different colors.
