If you have the entire aircrack-ng suite, you could just use airmon-ng to do this for you - which will issue via iw* with "intelligent" driver tracing.
Hmmm... Funny enough, I tried this earlier when I was first reading aircrack-ng wiki entry on airmon-ng (and just tried this again after your post to see if anything changed), and I get the following error when running airmon-ng start wlan0:

Code:
ERROR: Neither the sysfs interface links nor the iw command is available.
Please download and install iw from

"iwconfig wlan0 mode [M/m]onitor/[M/m]anaged" works fine though.
