If the card is capable of being put into a mode where it supplies 
control frames to the host, it's the driver's fault - otherwise, it's 
the card's fault.  I don't know which of those is the case; it might be 
that the Aironet card never supplies control frames to the host, even in 
monitor mode, or it might be that there's a mode bit on the card to 
cause it to do so but that the driver doesn't turn that mode bit on.

You'd have to ask the maintainers of the Aironet driver which of those 
is the case (based on what information they've been told - there might 
be a mode bit that Cisco hasn't documented that causes the card to 
supply control frames).
