The orinoco driver doesn't have monitor nor scanning support for cards with 8.xx firmware (which OS X flashes on the card (on update, but also on boot I believe). I have disabled the firmware check in the 0.15rc2 drivers (far better than stock kernel), I have scanning support now, but monitor support breaks immediately (and then one knows the reason why it was disable for 8.xx firmware).
