From c57e5b9819dfd16d709bcd6cb633301ed0829a66 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2025 09:14:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mac80211: fix WARN_ON for monitor mode on some devices On devices without WANT_MONITOR_VIF (and probably without channel context support) we get a WARN_ON for changing the per-link setting of a monitor interface. Since we already skip AP_VLAN interfaces and MONITOR with WANT_MONITOR_VIF and/or NO_VIRTUAL_MONITOR should update the settings, catch this in the link change code instead of the warning.
