VintageNet how to put interface into monitor mode

Summary to complete the thread so it matches the title.

If you want to use wifi card that supports it in monitor mode:

  • create custom nerves system
  • if you need special driver add custom buildroot package, you will also need to enable usb and usb_net in kernel config
  • add iw buildroot package
  • make sure that your wifi card is properly powered otherwise buggy behavior is possible

I will link PR on my nerves system when I clean it up.
