I can't stress how much better my AR9280 is behaving after the updates to the initvals. Beforehand the AR9280 would lock up after 2-3 minutes in monitor mode, and whilst in that mode it'd miss a lot of RX packets. After the initval update, it's been happily receiving in monitor mode for > 30 minutes. I'm quite shocked. :) Please give this code a test if you're using an AR9280. Adrian
