What about filling a bug report against the debian kernels instead ?
And for your information, there where such patches inside the 2.6.7/8 powerpc
kernels ages ago, but i don't know what Jens did to those, let me check the
changelog ... Oh, i think it was this one :
kernel-patch-powerpc-2.6.6 (2.6.6-5) unstable; urgency=low
...
* Removed the patch adding monitor mode to the Airport card driver. It
is outdated, unstable, and was only intended as a placeholder from the
very beginning.

I guess it was older than i remembered. What about your patch, where did you
get it from, and any chance of it getting upstream ?
