Examples:

1) Master Mode NIC

• This interface is in master mode, indicating that it is configured as the Access Point (AP).

2) Client Mode NIC (Named ESSID)

• This interface is in client mode, confirming that it functions as a Wi-Fi client, connecting to another wireless network. (AP BSSID)

3) Monitor Mode NIC

• This interface is in monitor mode, which is commonly used for wireless network monitoring and testing purposes. It does not participate in regular client or AP activities.

4) Managed Mode NIC

• Managed mode NICs are usually associated with other networks. This is the standard mode used by most Wi-Fi devices (like laptops, phones, etc.) to connect to Wi-Fi networks. In managed mode, the device acts as a client, connecting to an access point to join a network.
