You can certainly use ndiswrapper and the Windows driver. My only question would
be the stability of that configuration.

Your other option would be to purchase a USB device that does support monitor
mode. My favorite is the Netgear WG111V2, which uses the rtl8187 driver. These
are available for ~$10 on Ebay. Any device that uses mac80211 should be capable
of monitor mode. If you want both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, then you can use a Dell
Wireless 1450 USB adapter (Model D1450U). There is one on Ebay for $21.

Reverse-engineering a complicated device like the Broadcom 802.11n chips is not
trivial. We get no specifications or any help from Broadcom. Yes, we will be
able to provide a driver with full capabilities; however, I have no idea when
that will happen.

Please do a "Reply-to-all" so that the mailing list archives have the full
record of our mails.

No problem. Your English is much better than my Portuguese.
