Re: Path for fixed channel issue in aircrack-ng suite [V2]

[Maxim Levitsky <maximlevitsky@gmail.com>]

While debugging recent wireless problems, I gave the aircrack suite a

How about this patch to fix this issue:

    wireless: allow to retrieve the channel set on monitor interface
    
    This will allow to preserve compatibility with userspace
