Through the capture from the promiscuous mode of esp32, this code can work normally.But "wifi:out of memory'"need to be handled.My question is :
1`Espressif's engineer told me that the future IDF was released to improve this phenomenon. Does the latest version of IDF on git improve this phenomenon?
2`It looks like "wifi:out of memory" printed in the low layer . But this error does not seem to be passed to the application layer, and this error can not be obtained by the return value of esp_wifi_80211_tx. How to make the "wifi:out of memory" error return to the application layer ,how the application layer monitors "wifi:out of memory error")?

Re: "wifi:out of memory" when using esp_wifi_80211_tx.

Is there a way that the application layer can detect that WiFi TX buffer is enough ,then send data through esp_wifi_80211_tx?
