You can certainly use ndiswrapper and the Windows driver. My only question would be the stability of that configuration. Your other option would be to purchase a USB device that does support monitor mode. My favorite is the Netgear WG111V2, which uses the rtl8187 driver. These are available for ~$10 on Ebay. Any device that uses mac80211 should be capable of monitor mode. If you want both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, then you can use a Dell Wireless 1450 USB adapter (Model D1450U). There is one on Ebay for $21. Reverse-engineering a complicated device like the Broadcom 802.11n chips is not trivial. We get no specifications or any help from Broadcom. Yes, we will be able to provide a driver with full capabilities; however, I have no idea when that will happen.
