From d601353cc34883bc7d7807fc9a69dfa10ed491c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karthikeyan Kathirvel Date: Thu, 11 Mar 2021 10:59:07 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: choose first enabled channel for monitor [ Upstream commit 041c881a0ba8a75f71118bd9766b78f04beed469 ] Even if the first channel from sband channel list is invalid or disabled mac80211 ends up choosing it as the default channel for monitor interfaces, making them not usable. Fix this by assigning the first available valid or enabled channel instead.
