In the *ideal* behavior, your network adapter would remain connected
to the network even if it's in monitor mode.

Whether a particular adapter can support that in its firmware (if it
has firmware) is another matter; it might be that some drivers *can't*
support that because the adapter doesn't support that.

You could try, but there's no guarantee that it'll succeed - it might
be that the adapter or its driver won't support being connected to a
network while you're in monitor mode.

Thank you again!
Now it's clear what I'll have to look for.
