The Broadcom wl hybrid driver does not support monitor mode, and that is the
only driver for 802.11n Broadcom chips. Until we finish getting b43 running on
such devices, you will not have that option.

Complain to Broadcom.

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.

No problem. Your English is much better than my Portuguese.
