Netlink monitoring
==================
The included iwmon utility can be used to monitor the 802.11 subsystem
generic netlink commands and events. It uses the nlmon kernel driver
from Linux 3.10 and later.
In order to use iwmon to create traces, the nlmon network interface
needs to be created:
ip link add name nlmon type nlmon
ip link set dev nlmon up
For now it is important that the netlink monitor interace is actually
named nlmon. Future version might relax this requirement.
