The only way to solve this problem therefore seems to be to suppress the

What do you mean by radio stack? You can't really send any frames into

In the wireless code, we have special 802.11+radiotap framed virtual
interfaces, mostly used to monitor traffic on the air. They also show
outgoing packets from other virtual interfaces associated with the same

This is the corresponding patch to mac80211.
It marks all monitor type interfaces with IFF_NO_MIRROR the reasons for
