broken monitor mode

[well0nez]

hi, i tried to get the monitor mode working.
If im successfull setting the mode, i get no packets at all, if the driver decides to make a survey, i get some packages but thats it, i cant control / set the channel.

are there any plans to make it available?

i figured out that, monitor mode works, but the firmware/driver is constantly changing the channel, and if i try to set it manually via iwconfig/iw, the channel does not get changed.

should be almost easy to fix.

the driver should be denied to do channel hopping in monitor mode state.
driver has to accept new freq when setting with iw/iwconfig in monitor mode state
