Yes, this could definitely be related to the issue. As I said, I believe
that click assumes that all FromDevice elements will always push packets
with 4 2 alignment. It is quite possible that this monitor mode device does
not satisfy this assumption.
I've realized that my simple router works fine with both Align 4 0 and
> 4 4. So there is a two bytes offeset that must be compensated.

Align 4 4 is the same as Align 4 0... both cases mean that
((uintptr_t)packet->data() % 4) == 0
