Hi,

>From a completely different angle than what James just said, are you
sure you're using the 7265 NIC for *only* monitor mode? This behaviour
would also be more or less consistent with the 7265 NIC being connected
to the AP that you're monitoring the beacons, since it would then
suppress beacon RX for powersaving purposes.
