simple hccapx(2500) to 22000 converter python script

Indeed, older hardware is a serious problem and it is becoming more and more difficult to support it.
A couple of hours ago I released hcxdumptool 6.3.0 (and hcxtools 6.3.0) according to the release of Linux kernel 6.3.0.
After I compiled kernel 6.3, I got this dmesg warning:

Code:

[ 2770.939021] warning: hcxdumptool uses wireless extensions which will stop working for Wi-Fi 7 hardware; use nl80211

Now, I finally realized that WIRELESS EXTENSIONS (WEXT) are dead and I have to move to NL80211 which has led to a complete redesign of hcxdumptool. This redesign may not be compatible with old hardware, old kernel and old gcc versions, but it was absolutely necessary.

For the first time I noticed that when Arch Linux discontinued support for the ARMv5 and ARMv6 architectures, late 2022:

As I write this comment, Arch Linux is on

Code:

$ uname -r
6.3.1-arch1-1

and

Code:

$ gcc -v
gcc version 13.1.1 20230429 (GCC)

and it is nearly impossible for me to run all older kernels and gcc versions to make sure the new features are working on them.
