+1, bridging the interface also enables direct use of wpa_supplicant to do the authentication dance.

VPP would also need to know how to configure and monitor this NIC. Seems like a lot of work for minimal gains, so Dave’ suggestion of bridging into a tap-v2 interface is likely to provide more immediate results. As for performance of same, anyone looking for > circa 600Mbps with wireless is smoking something interesting. Pretty sure tap-v2 can pass that.

You can put the [linux kernel] wireless interface into a Linux bridge with a vpp tap-v2 interface. Performance might not be much to write home about... D.
