Problem with monitor mode using Compaq WL110

Trick is to use a different ioctl.

I don't have my laptop here today so can't tell you exactly, but yeah, the
main ioctl call in orinocoSniff.c needs to be changed. I talked to the
author of the patch about it, so he might have updated the patch sometime.
