Same behaviour here.

I add that the freezes happen when the card is associated to the AP.
They happen with tcpdump and with wireshark, both selecting wmaster0
and wlan0 interfaces; but don't happen with kismet.

Furthermore, I have a PPPoE Internet connection and the computer
freezes even when I try to monitor ppp0 interface (when the PPPoE
connection uses the radio link).

Thanks.
