I try to change config Managed Mode to Monitor Mode
I use Linux OpenWrt 3.18.29 - BusyBox v1.23.2
The following is my wireless configuration
|------------------------------
|config wifi-device  radio0
|        option type     ralink
|        option ht       20
|
|config wifi-iface
|        option device   radio0
|        option network  lan
|        option mode monitor
|        option hidden 1
|------------------------------
The following is my network configuration
|-------------------------------------
|config interface 'loopback'
|        option ifname 'lo'
|        option proto 'static'
|        option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
|        option netmask '255.0.0.0'
|
|config globals 'globals'
|        option ula_prefix ''
|
|config interface 'lan'
|        option ifname 'eth0.1'
|        option force_link '1'
|        option macaddr ''
|        option type 'bridge'
|        option proto 'static'
|        option ipaddr '192.168.8.1'
|        option netmask '255.255.255.0'
|
|config interface 'wan'
|        option ifname 'radio0'
|        option force_link '1'
|        option macaddr ''
|        option proto 'dhcp'
|--------------------------------------
when i use 'iw reg get', i can see the changed mode
|------------------------------------------------------------------
|root@OpenWrt:/etc/config# iw reg get
|global
|country 00: DFS-UNSET
|        (2402 - 2472 @ 40), (6, 20), (N/A)

How can I set it to monitor mode?

Are you sure your device is running official openwrt build?

I had download package from the following site:
#1.
https://github.com/openwrt-mirror/openwrt
I had used the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/openwrt-mirror/openwrt.git
(i fixed the url)
and then I did make menuconfig

#2. I tried the following link, too.
https://github.com/wrtnode-sdk/openwrt
But the same result.

After setting menuconfig, "make V=s" has been done.
I don't know what to look at further.

cf)
Menuconfig
Language - Lua - libwiinfo-lua
Libraries - libiw
Libraries - libiwinfo
Network - iw
Utilities - iwcap
Utilities - iwcap
with defalut config
