There is a line of code in one of the ioctls that says:
        /* needed for Kismet, orinoco mode */
        { PRIV_IOCTL_SET_MONITOR_MODE,
          IW_PRIV_TYPE_INT | IW_PRIV_SIZE_FIXED | 2, 0,
          "monitor"}, /* param1: monitor mode: 0 (off),
                                               1 (on,Prism header),
                                               2 (on, no Prism header)
                         param2: channel (to start scan at) */

I would try that and see what happens. I mean try:
iwpriv monitor <something>
kismet

Definitely let us know if you get anywhere or not.
