I had similar problems and finally tracked them down to initializing and 
putting in monitor mode, then run dstumbler. Here is the script I use 
(FreeBSD 4.6.2):


#!/bin/sh
# Run via the sh shell

prism2ctl wi0 -i
# initialize the card

prism2ctl wi0 -m
# set card to monitor mode

dstumbler wi0 -o
# run dstumbler with prism card in monitor mode

It works for me, and hopefully it will help you. What a great feeling 
when dstumbler finally works!  :)

hope this helps,
