The 2.6.32 kernel shipped in lucid never sees data packets. I have narrowed it down to channel hopping. modprobing the driver and starting mon0 on a fixed channel works as expected, but allowing airodump to channel hop breaks the interface until the driver is reset. I wrote a script to download and build compat wireless starting from 2009-01-01 (granted everything fails until half way through october), but every version that is successfully installed also show the same bug. Further instructions welcome.
