The following flags should all work with the brcm80211 FW:

	MCTL_KEEPBADFCS
	MCTL_KEEPCONTROL
	MCTL_PROMISC
	MCTL_BCNS_PROMISC

The only one that's hooked up in the driver at the moment is 
MCTL_BCNS_PROMISC (for FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC).  I haven't taken a look 
at what it would take to enable monitor mode in the driver yet (setting 
up the monitor interface, etc).
