FreeBSD-head r217622, i386 eeepc of some description
>Description:
Monitor mode with if_ath on at least the AR9280 is broken. It hasn't been tried 
on earlier cards.

After a short period, frames stop being received.
>How-To-Repeat:
# ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 wlanmode monitor
# ifconfig wlan0 channel 6
# ifconfig wlan0 up
# tcpdump -ni wlan0 -y IEEE802_11_RADIO

[wait a short period]

>Fix:
Sometimes bouncing the interface is enough. Other times unloading/reloading the 
interface is enough.
