There is no plan for adding monitor mode support since it's not
requested by any products. And it's impossible to release the firmware
source code at the moment. I am not aware of any reverse engineering
project for Broadcom fullmac dongle. However, I do plan to work on the
monitor mode support on the firmware for SDIO dongle as a leisure
project although I don't have a schedule for it. I will announce it on
the mail list when it's ready. Stay tuned :)
