All the others seem to be doing things with NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR in
the vif structure. This seems contradictory.

You should look into the WANT_MONITOR flag. :)

Hmm...

roger@dragon:~/linux-mainline$ find . -name "*.[ch]" -exec grep -n IEEE80211_HW_WANT_MONITOR_VIF {} \; -print 1851: * @IEEE80211_HW_WANT_MONITOR_VIF: The driver would like to be informed of
1928:    IEEE80211_HW_WANT_MONITOR_VIF,
./include/net/mac80211.h
