Hi,
we are not able to obtain any packets when packet capturing with the
Mediatek MT7921K in monitor mode on 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz.
tcpdump will show you 0 recorded packets. When doing a "iw dev wls1
scan" on a parallel running managed interface on the same phy, the
packet capture will contain beacons and probe responses from the scan
though.
Can anyone confirm that?

WM Firmware Version: ____010000, Build Time: 20211014150922
Steps to reproduce:
sudo iw dev wls1 del
sudo iw phy phy0 interface add mon0 type monitor
sudo ip link set dev mon0 up
sudo iw dev mon0 set freq 6115
sudo tcpdump -i mon0 -w 6g-capture.pcap
Kinds regards, Jan
