Thank you for mentioning the new option -L
Starting with kernel 6.3 everything changed, because I got this dmesg warning:
The good old days of WIRELESS EXTENSIONS (WEXT) are over. Unfortunately up to version 6.2.9 hcxdumptool was a WEXT dinosaur and I had to reactor the entire tool.
Starting with v6.3.0 hcxdumtool talk with the kernel via RTNETLINK and NL80211 protocol. The protocol is directly implemented in hcxdumptool. There is no new dependency (like e.g. libnl).
Compared to WEXT, NL80211 offers some nice additional features (e.g. active monitor mode).
Additional I decided to go back to the roots. Anything that makes hcxdumptool slow has been removed.
