Correct. You'll eventually roll over after 2^32-1 ... this has nothing
to do with wifi btw - look at ethernet devices :)

Is 'wmon0' still up at that point? It should work then, not sure why it
wouldn't, but it's certainly not an iw problem but more likely a kernel
problem. Since openwrt also has a fair number of patches I'd ask you to
please retest on a regular kernel first, or report the bug to them.
