Description

The monitor (re: RPi w/ PiBox) needs a wifi module capable of both AP and client mode. To verify the module supports this, run iw list and check for the valid interface combinations section. It should look similar to the following.

valid interface combinations:
         * #{ managed } < = 1, #{ AP, P2P-client, P2P-GO } <= 1, #{ P2P-device } <= 1,
           total <= 3, #channels <= 2

The important bits here are the managed and AP entries, which signify that the module supports both. Also, if channels > 1 then the AP and client can run on different channels. Otherwise they have to run on the same channel.
