netlink operation not supported on a macbook.

I am running ubuntu on my macbook which tells me operations is not supported which is weird because on osx somehow the same device could be put in monitor mode.
I believe this is an owl issue rather than a device support issue

The Broadcom chips that Apple uses have really bad driver support under Linux, while things are much better under macOS. So, what you are experiencing is very likely not an OWL issue.

Have similar problem. Installed Arch on Macbook 2014 and can't run OWL with same error. Network adapter is BCM4360 802.11ac [14e4:43a0] (rev 03) which works fine in both 2,4 and 5 GHz modes, BT also works ok.

I've discovered on manpage that you CAN enable monitor mode like this:
echo 1 > /proc/brcm_monitor0
(https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/broadcom_wireless#Setting_broadcom-wl_in_monitor_mode)

After this command mew interface prism0 appears in system (with SAME MAC address as BCM4360 interface, usually called wlp2s0), which gives you ability to monitor network. So the question is - how can I tell OWL to use this particular device for monitoring function? Thank you!
