That's ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION.
Presumably

means that the adapter *does* support monitor mode.
Somebody else had a similar problem:
http://www.devsuperpage.com/search/Articles.aspx?G=8&ArtID=1645342
with some other driver with a "device driver" upper half and an NDIS lower half - they could get OIDs, but trying to set the OID_802_11_BSSID OID failed.
Do you know which call in the driver is failing?
