From be22179cfb2fb1164004b70b33a4bdf67e6dd349 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Wetzel Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2025 12:13:51 +0100 Subject: wifi: nl80211/cfg80211: Stop supporting cooked monitor Unconditionally start to refuse creating cooked monitor interfaces to phase them out. There is no feature flag for drivers to opt-in for cooked monitor and all known users are using/preferring the modern API since the hostapd release 1.0 in May 2012.
