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.
So what I should try to do is to reconnect to my network once I have
set the NIC to monitor mode?
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.
