Libpcap 1.0 has code to configure monitor mode in Linux, *BSD, and Mac  
OS X (and tcpdump 4.0 has a "-I" command-line flag to enable monitor  
mode); the Linux code needs some work to handle mac80211 adapters  
better (I have some as-yet-untested code for that).

I also have some under-development work on giving libpcap APIs to get  
a list of channels, and let you set the channel, for 802.11.  I  
haven't had time to work on it - I need to come up with a  
representation of the list of channels information that works on  
multiple platforms and provides enough information.
