My recommendations: nl80211 or nlconfig, since it controls NL80211. Also, the syntax "nl80211 --add --master=wmaster0 --mode=monitor mon0" (or, using short parameters, "nlconfig -a -m=monitor -p=wmaster0 mon0" - "-a" for an alias of "--add", "-m" for "--mode" and "-p" for "--master") would be much better than the current one. (This is pretty similar to kexec's or aircrack-ng's syntax, and is used by many other commands.)
