That makes it harder as neccassary for debugging. Either try to use 
something like netcat to bring the stream to you host and look at it 
with wireshark or save it as pcap file, transfer it to your host and 
look at it with wireshark.

Doing it like above is really error prone. Why would you make your life 
harder as you should? :)

Hmm, why would you want to do that? A monitor interface should give you 
all the information you need during sniffing. For what do you want to 
add a lowpan interface on top?
