command failed: Invalid argument (-22) about linux-router HOT 5 CLOSED

I've confirmed that it works when I make the name of the virtual interface shorter instead of 2 characters added to the original interface name.

Hi, thank you for reporting the issue and sending PR!

I think it is better to defaultly name the new interface name after the original interface name.
People may create more than 1 virtual interface based on different wifi adapters simutaneously.

So adding an option to rename the new interface (e.g. --virt-name) would be better.
Also, the script should warn user if the original interface has a long name.

I'm considering that

v_iface_name="$VIRT_PREFIX$i"

is not 100% preditable interface name

It is better to do it a preditable way

v_iface_name="$VIRT_NAME"

Let user decide the exact interface name

Currently the alloc_new_vface_name function seems to increment $i until $VIRT_PREFIX$i is not the name of an existing interface. If we change it to v_iface_name="$VIRT_NAME", then should the script exit with an error if the interface already exists?
