They register as NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR instead of NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION, for example. I checked cw-3.5, 3.4, 3.2, and 3.1 and none of these versions have this bug. This breaks the ability to set channels, etc. Hoping to track down the bug, but wanted to report it in the meantime and see if anyone else has run in to it. - George
