Hi TaTyo,
Monitor mode, or RFMON (Radio Frequency MONitor) mode is a software setting. It doesn't modify any hardware in the machine. You can read more about Monitor mode from the below link:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitor_mode
Please revert for clarification.

Hi TaTyo,
Monitor mode, or RFMON (Radio Frequency MONitor) mode, allows a computer with a wireless network interface controller (NIC) to monitor all traffic received from the wireless network.
While in NetMon mode, the miniport driver can only receive packets based on the current packet filter settings. The driver cannot send packets either on its own or through a call to its MiniportSendNetBufferLists function.
When the miniport driver enters NetMon mode, the NIC must disable any background scanning that it has implemented.
For the above reasons Windows prevents from connecting to wireless networks.
Please reply if you have any further questions.

Hi TaTyo,
I found this article which might be useful for you. It explains all the three Native 802.11 Operation Modes including Network Monitor (NetMon) Operation Mode:

Kindly get back if there are any further queries.

I need more clarification about how a card is set to a mode, why windows will not be able to connect to a wireless network if a network monitoring program is running because you said that the monitor mode is only a software setting !
Miscrosof said :
"If a network monitoring program is running on your computer, the wireless network adapter will be set to monitor mode, which prevents Windows from connecting to wireless networks. To connect to a wireless network, close the network monitoring program or follow the instructions in the program to exit monitor mode."
How it can be possible that this prevent windows to connect if its only a software setting, thank you !
