iw will show it, you just need to look at the right place (not the # of
scan SSIDs):

	software interface modes (can always be added):
		 * AP/VLAN
		 * monitor
	valid interface combinations:
		 * #{ managed } <= 1, #{ AP, P2P-client, P2P-GO } <= 1, #{ P2P-device } <= 1,
		   total <= 3, #channels <= 2

(This is for a random Intel device I just had, 9000 series I think)
