Ok, so this is a difference between using pcap_open_live() and
pcap_create()/pcap_activate()?  Because I can capture with 802.11 headers when
using pcap_open_live(), but I'm unable to select linktype when using
pcap_create()/pcap_activate().

Does pcap_open_live() "set rfmon" behind the scenes?

I really just want the old behaviour.  I do not want to introduce a "monitor
mode" option at this point, just introduce "set buffer size".  And I'm using
Mac OS X 10.6 here.
