QCA988X firmware crash when sending in monitor mode

[Ouri Lipner]

Hi all,
I’m consistently encountering issues with raw wifi packet injection.

Sending a raw packet in monitor mode keeps crashing the firmware.
This happens consistently with every firmware that supports raw mode.
Currently on kernel 4.9-rc2 but older drivers behave the same.
Is this an issues with a missing parameter (e.g. in RadioTap) or a real problem with the firmware?

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Ouri.
