You should not set this to 1 if you support only one interface at a time. Please add support for concurrent running of one regular (i.e. STA, IBSS, AP, WDS) interface plus arbitrary number of monitor interfaces or set monitor_during_oper to 0.

(Yes, I know, I definitely must reserve some time to write a documentation about monitor mode support.)

Thanks,

My fault, this was a leftover from my initial patch for the dscape update. I actually had written some code to indeed allow multiple monitor mode interfaces. But I spotted some problems with it, and removed the code and planned to rewrite it later after I had send this code series. I'll create a quick patch to correctly set the monitor_during_oper variable, because the patch for correct monitor mode behaviour might take some time.
