Hm, the wpi driver supports at least monitor mode but it doesn't indicate it
supports ahdemo/ibss. (Those capabilities are disabled.)

There's code in the driver to handle ibss/ahdemo/monitor though.

Are you absolutely sure creating a monitor device doesn't work? There aren't
any other child wlan interfaces from wpi0?

ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 wlanmode monitor

I wonder why that is. Bernhard, have you tinkered with the wpi driver?
