I use this script (with arg1 the netdevice and arg2 the channel number)
to set the Prism2 card into monitor mode (with wlan-ng 0.2.0 and ethereal
0.10.0):

#!/bin/bash

echo   "configuring $1 for monitor mode on channel $2"
wlanctl-ng $1  lnxreq_wlansniff enable=true channel=$2 prismheader=true \
        wlanheader=true
ifconfig $1 up
