Because I have no idea who to contact and figured that they'd notice quickly enough? :) Thomas, since people seem to be relying on iw more and more (I had been hoping somebody else would take it and transform it into something usable) I have gone ahead and cleaned up the code, made a few modifications to it and released it as version 0.9 (and a few 0.9.x fixes, my bad). There are two changes that might interest you: * removing interfaces now works like this: iw dev monitor0 del I didn't feel inclined to keep the old syntax because it's rather ugly but if this is a big problem for you I can add a hidden command so you can continue doing "iw dev monitor0 interface del". * if you've been using iw dev wmaster0 interface add monitor0 type monitor this will stop working in future kernel releases, the master interface really is no good for actually configuring wireless and we want to get rid of it completely in the medium term. I suspect you have been using iw dev wlan0 interface add monitor0 type monitor which will continue to work. johannes --=-nQoJl5VatQUhUYEVt83V Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Johannes Berg (powerbook) iQIcBAABAgAGBQJI0OdqAAoJEKVg1VMiehFYpsgQAKOwxE1IhnfkCh0prIaDD0WC VivXYq2jU6pOINe30ccYnAxyZmbaxKYVvD05LMq+Q9IuNzLVdNsL0HUccEsPdkQe V1rQALzTPkaLE6OLFi1pC8S1lthIKrWkNJbygaBk3eqT3thXVPr7q5W90SZLSTnS WxhoXFbc1jeYz6m2WVywej3OpN6kBaMcsz19KOQJHZQVS771Fme95TN7ED1JwzZb hb7Pt+OOKf93vrc7dKbbl91PEctxOtPrag8PveLYUztA+eqi3207bbq5649UI+fv wiR/Ab8vChbzB7MluDHcyJsDaoYkeKXQu+gZc74UISJ3TI5AnvP8gdI4P2mv8SxS +x8uIIn6/rp6DyMJUaTtKBiX9qQD94n7V/PCWLLUImXkiOhEefHqE2v3E9P7pboP V52LDBzf9ub9Igl3wq/tqzPminQGCCqtZVIcd+yYDPrMUyaR3swEweK7nZI6sivx H/CJAjnotXUMBb5wtBJ5tEi3ztIvtPpcLaxs1AH9Uca0D+5bJAS/4W60vB632tmW pZGbbPcGGSVr3yVBGmTKZLrJr5M1ZyLFCO/B9xKD5vyW2zvBOHoTynYl25sGGhK6 XXt9qlvAyggGjWVV54OKG8Z80dbBRGlmy0NTNvdxQol5MaaHygMXHSXHaC0espgS VhXtmyCzSU65OPikaVkH =a6jb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-nQoJl5VatQUhUYEVt83V--
