Does wireless monitor mode need ESSID and Network really?

[morse-miladmohtashamirad]

I've noticed that when you set the Mode of a wireless interface to monitor you can still set the ESSID.
I believe that this can confuse a user. As monitor mode works based on channel and bw, ... not ESSID.
I've looked into mac80211.sh and couldn't find any use of ssid in the backend. (I might be wrong though).

The only downside of removing ESSID from monitor mode is that when a user switches from another mode (that needs SSID) to monitor and back, he'll loose the ESSID that he'd set. which looks acceptable to me.

Same argument can go for Network option as well. 😄
