I've observed that (often?) if you ifconfig wlan0 down before enabling monitor/promisc mode, then it seems to not hang the system.

I noticed two bugs:

this
bug disappears if I patch the driver with packet injection patch from
Gábor Stefanik.
I noticed this bug, after I removed his patch to see if it caused some
problems.
Always reproducible, usually hangs just after airodump launch.

2) If I enable monitor mode regardless of injection patch, the scanning
results got garbaged,
iwlist scan reports > 100 quality on most APs, or 0% quality on my
router, shows extremely low and hi power levels, like
-127dBm or 160 dBm, and those levels change rapidly.
This why I removed the injection patch, I suspected it, but this bug
appears to be not related to it.
I noticed that exactly same bug happens if I enable promisc mode on the
wlan0. Does this give any additional clue why this bug happens?
