See

    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/aa503132.aspx

for more information on this.  (The original title was a bit misleading - this
has less to do with the "Independent Hardware Vendor (IHV) or Independent
Software Vendor (ISV) framework" part of the Native 802.11 support than it does
with the support for "Network Monitor Operation Mode" part of it, so the
relevant Microsoft references aren't the ones he gives, they're the one given
above.)

The Intel documentation appears to be referring to something *other* than the
Native 802.11 stuff, as it says (in section 4, "Promiscuous Mode") that
"Microsoft Windows 2000* and Microsoft Windows 
XP*, Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software v10.5 supports ISV promiscuous mode, i.e.
support for ISV 
sniffer application operating on top of Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network
Connection adapter", unless Microsoft intends to backport Native 802.11 to W2K,
not just to WXP.  I suspect that might be some special stuff Intel put into
their driver, separate from the intended-to-be-generic-to-multiple-vendors
stuff in Vista and possibly WXP SP2.
