Hi!

Automatic mode switching is not supported since r178354; you should  
manually
create an interface with required mode:

ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev <dev> wlanmode monitor up

or just put this to rc.conf(5):

wlans_<dev>="wlan2"
create_args_wlan2="wlanmode monitor"
ifconfig_wlan2="up"

AFAIK, radiotap(9) support is implemented in all wireless drivers.
