If I change channels repeatedly on the 2.4ghz band, monitoring (e.g. tcpdump) will eventually halt. I've seen this on various versions of the carl driver/firmware (both from 1.9.4 to 1.9.7)" The culprit was identified as "fast channel change feature" which according to Adrian Chadd is: "... notoriously unreliable and really only fully debugged on some very later chips." Therefore, this patch removes the fast channel change feature. The phy will now always have to go through a cold reset when changing channels, but it should no longer become deaf.
