It does not for now.
Also, you need to set the wlan0 interface to Monitor mode before starting
a tcpdump on it, but this will lead to a kernel oops with the current
driver.

Since this seems to be a popular request, I started working on the Monitor
mode implementation and I am now very close to a working state. Will keep
the list updated on that matter.

Cheers,
Samuel.
