I doubt that WCN3990 firmware supports monitor mode, though just
guessing here.

Some people has got monitor mode working under android ( different driver, qcacld-2.0, and qcacld-3.0) with these kind of chips: https://github.com/kimocoder/qualcomm_android_monitor_mode/


Some older chips (wcn3680  think) even supported packet injection(using the older  qcacld-2.0 driver).

Commits in the newer  qcacld-3.0 driver (that supported the wcn3990) did contain hints that monitor mode and packet injection should work.

So maybe the firmware does support it?

Maybe it does then, I don't know really. My response was just based on
my past experiences with mobile chipsets.
