Question on bssid mask with ath10k

["Jose Núñez-Martínez (CTTC)"]

Thanks for your answer. My goal was to create a monitor interface (mon2) 
and another (wlan2) in ibss mode associated to the same physical device. 
This is the command I tried to create a virtual interface associated to 
phy0 in monitor mode:

iw phy phy0 interface add moni2 type monitor

As you mentioned it is somehow configured as "managed" and not as 
monitor. Any ideas?
