How do I put the Aironet 350 in monitor mode?

I have read sites saying
echo 'Mode: rfmon" > /proc/drivers/aironet/eth1/Config

and others saying
echo 'Mode: y' > /same/path/as/above

But neither do a thing for me. How do I get this card in monitor mode?

  Alright. It looks like my drivers weren't as up-to-date as they could have been. A trip to the CVS now has my card in "Mode: rfmon" and packets getting dumped to the wifi0 interface.
  
  Now the problem is that ALL of the WEP encrypted packets appear to have the same IV. When I look at the packet dump in ethereal and in tcpdump I see an IV of 0x03aaaa and a Key of 0.
  
  I know that's not right. What's wrong here?

To put an interface in monitor mode you can do:
1.-
# iwconfig eth1 mode monitor

2.-
# airmong-ng start eth1
