That's probably due to commit 4c13eb6657fe9ef7b4dc8f1a405c902e9e5234e0, which moved the setting of skb->dev into eth_type_trans, which is never called when the card is in monitor mode. Could you try this patch? Manually set the device of a skb for prism54 cards that are in monitor mode as we never call eth_type_trans in that case.
