esp_wifi_80211_tx in WIFI_MODE_NULL

[humptydumpty]

For our project we're using esp_wifi_80211_tx and promiscuous mode together. Basically we implement our own custom protocol.

We don't want the unnecessary and redundant overhead of the Station and AP modes because we handle all the wifi packets in our own callbacks.

But if we try using esp_wifi_80211_tx in WIFI_MODE_NULL we get an error. Nothing is transmitted.

How can we completely turn off the AP and STATION functions and still be able to send packets out?
