There is no standard API or kernel programming interface in Windows by which an 802.11 driver can be asked to go into monitor mode; there aren't even, as far as I know, documented driver-proprietary interfaces to do that. > I know if i use libpcap 0.7.1 to capture raw packets I need > another patch.

I'm not sure to which patch you're referring, but if you're referring to Solomon Peachy's patch to handle the ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM type in Linux for the linux-wlan-ng Prism II driver, that patch is in 0.7.2. What it does is, well, add support for the ARPHRD_ type that the linux-wlan-ng driver for cards using the "Prism II" chipset uses for monitor-mode captures.
