(as in the case of Access Point) I had git cloned the sources according to the URL from http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Documentation/iw; and as far as I understand from the code, it is not implemented yet. It will only display when an interface is in master mode (but you cannot set to master mode). I want to verify this point and ask if there is an inhernet reason for not implementing this (setting other modes, like mesh and monitor, is implemented). Or is it simply on the to-do list ?
