Hi,

you're supposed to use "iw" with modern mac80211.

To spawn a real monitor interface:

  iw phy phy0 interface add mon0 type monitor; ifconfig mon0 up

See also http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw

It is certainly not required to recompile the driver.
The mon.wlanX devices are cooked monitor interfaces required by hostapd
to communicate with the driver.
