brcm80211: Monitor mode?

Hello.

I'm trying to get monitor mode on my Broadcom 43225 with the new brcm80211 driver (from 'compat-wireless-patched-daily' available at AUR).

If I use airmon-ng, I get monitor mode on interface mon0, but my card only captures beacons and its own packages (still connected with interface wlan0). I think it can be related with a lot of "wlc_recv: dropping a frame with invalid src mac address" messages shown by 'dmesg'.
I know there is more traffic because I also connect other device to my router.

If I use wireless-tools (ifconfig wlan0 down; iwconfig wlan0 mode Monitor; ifconfig wlan0 up) I get monitor mode on interface wlan0, but my card doesn't capture any packages/beacons. 'rfkill' says it isn't software/hardware blocked...

Has someone been able to get brcm80211 work well on monitor mode?

Thank you.
