I experience the same problem, just after entering: iwpriv eth1 monitor 2 2 (for example), if set mode 2 for say, channel 3, too my machine gets VERY VERY slow. I Had to hard-reboot because it took to much time to write lines on the framebuffer :) I was using kernel-patch-powerpc-2.6.6. It is the first time I got monitoring working. I want to work towards scanning support, is there a 2.6.6 patch for that too, I'm getting tired of manually entering ESSID and keys all day since I encouter 2 or 3 different networks a day.
