From 1edecbd0bd45c9c899e0f82b123342f28423468c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miquel Raynal Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2023 14:50:32 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ieee802154: Change error code on monitor scan netlink request Returning EPERM gives the impression that "right now" it is not possible, but "later" it could be, while what we want to express is the fact that this is not currently supported at all (might change in the future). So let's return EOPNOTSUPP instead.
