dmesg says:

eth2: Firmware determined as Lucent/Agere 8.74

First look, then reply. Sorry!
So that should be the point. Is it possible to update the firmware version?

Not yet. All new versions I'm aware of are RAM-loadable. I don't even know how to implement RAM download through the ezusb bridge. It may be impossible.

There are older firmware versions that don't have the monitor mode bug. You can find them at the bottom of http://airsnort.shmoo.com/orinocoinfo.html

I know that firmware 6.16 works fine in monitor mode, both in PCMCIA sockets and through ezusb.

You'll need to open the device and pull the PCMCIA card and then downgrade it on a Windows machine.
