Wifi monitor doesnt start if called by anything on startup

Expected behavior

If called on startup should execute callback funtion accordingly

Actual behavior

The file gets executed but the callback never called If called using serial works fine

Test code

init.lua

uart.setup(0,9600,8,uart.PARITY_NONE,uart.STOPBITS_1,1)

tmr.create():alarm(1000,tmr.ALARM_SINGLE,function ()
  dofile("wifi.lua")
end)

wifi.lua

Wifi_table = {}
wifi.monitor.start(13, 0x80,function (pkt)
    if not Wifi_table[pkt.bssid_hex] then
        if  pkt[0] ~= nil then
          Wifi_table[pkt.bssid_hex] = pkt[0]
          uart.write(0,pkt.bssid_hex .. "," .. pkt[0].."\r\n")
        else
          Wifi_table[pkt.bssid_hex]="blank"
          uart.write(0,pkt.bssid_hex .. "," .. "blank".."\r\n")
        end
    end
end
)


local cleartimer = tmr.create()
cleartimer:alarm(4000000, tmr.ALARM_AUTO,function ()
  Wifi_table = {}
end)
