Not sure if this is a driver or ifconfig(8) problem, but after I -mediaopt
monitor, ifconfig(8) still reports it in media line:
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect <monitor>
However, as I said, scan list gets populated, which suggests ifconfig(8)
is getting something wrong. Doing -mediaopt monitor the second time
"knocks" ifconfig(8) though.
