Just found this email sent to stable@ almost three years ago; sadly I   
have to confirm iwi(4) still exhibits these problems on fairly recent
7-STABLE (early Juneish).  Maybe I have better luck on net@ (I am
particularly interested in working monitor mode).  Thanks.  Any debug
information will be gladly provided.  Pointers where to look (revisions
to try, patches, etc.) are greatly appreciated.
