Presence of wifi-iface "monitor" removes channel information from wireless page

jeffsf commented 6 years ago

If a monitor wifi-iface is created, the /luci/admin/network/wireless no longer shows the channel for the radio.

With

config wifi-iface
    option device 'radio0'
    option mode 'monitor'
    option ifname 'mon24'

Without

This is potentially due to or related to what iw dev returns when configured with a monitor interface

phy#1
[...]
    Interface wlan1-1
        ifindex 29
        wdev 0x100000003
        addr <redacted>
        ssid <redacted>
        type AP
        channel 6 (2437 MHz), width: 20 MHz, center1: 2437 MHz
        txpower 25.00 dBm
    Interface mon24
        ifindex 28
        wdev 0x100000002
        addr <redacted>
        type monitor
        txpower 25.00 dBm
phy#0
    Interface wlan0

There is no "wlan1" and if the monitor interface had not been renamed, it still would have carried no channel information.
