What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Checked out code from bcmon project.
2. made some changes to source tree to compile correctly. The changes I made is
attached in the patch file.Also changed kernel configuration. It is also
attached
3. moved new compiled module to /system/lib and "bcm4330_sta.bcmon.bin" to
"/system/etc/wifi/bcm4330_sta.bin"
4. insmod' ed cfg80211.ko
5. turned on wifi by pressing icon in desktop
6. checked status by using 'iwconfig'
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect a normal iwconfig output. but instead iwconfig waits lot of time and not printing info about the wireless interface. in that waiting time kmsg produces some error s . Its attached as iwconfig.log
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.
So I tried the above procedure with stock firmware.
at this time, iwconfig shows that wireless at monitor mode.But its clear that its not true. because we cant get monitor mode with stock firmware.
not only that, at this situation, I couldn't change the mode of wifi interface to 'managed' by using iwconfig.
the complete source tree is available at http://sourceforge.net/p/galaxyykernel/code/ci/958afa38ecf2ef20ea5586ce24796af36f5feac8/tree/drivers/net/wireless/4330/
So with my little knowledge, i think firmware changes is necessary for this device specially.
So I here attached my stock firmware .
One more request.
People like me are very much enthusiastic to know that how you people hacked the firmware. so please consider us.
