Thanks. On a laptop with

FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p4 amd64

and this wlan hardware:

iwn0 at pci0:2:0:0:        class=0x028000 card=0x13118086 chip=0x42398086 rev=0x35
hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Centrino Advanced-N 6200'
    class      = network
    bar   [10] = type Memory, range 64, base 0xf2400000, size 8192, enabled

If I do this:

ifconfig wlan0 wlanmode monitor

this is the error message:

ifconfig: wlanmode: bad value

So I tested it on another laptop:

With this card:

wpi0 at pci0:3:0:0:        class=0x028000 card=0x10118086 chip=0x42278086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection'
    class      = network
    bar   [10] = type Memory, range 32, base 0xdfcff000, size 4096, enabled


  ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 wlanmode monitor up

worked, but:
