This might help:

There's a difference between promiscuous mode and monitor mode.
<http://airsnort.shmoo.com/faq.html#Q3>
What you want is monitor mode becaue promiscuous mode requires
associating with the access point.

The problem is that many programs, sites, and users mix up these two
modes, resulting in some confusion.  I've managed to confuse them more
often than I care to admit.

Oh yeah... welcome to the dark side.
