Comment (by jul_bsd@…):

 I don't think the problem is linked to wireshark version.
 It just depends on the system and hardware/chipset you have. see

 http://www.wireshark.org/faq.html#q10.1
 http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/WLAN#Mac_OS_X
 https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/75221/wireless-sniffing-using-
 mac-os-x-106-and-above (/System/Library/CoreServices/Applications/Wireless
 Diagnostics.app)

 So normally, it should work. but can depend on your wireless chipset

 On 1.10.5, I confirm I haven't a capture options checkbox for monitor mode
 (only use promiscuous mode) but as said on the previous links, it just
 moved
 "check the "Monitor mode" checkbox in the "Capture Options" dialog (in
 Wirehark before 1.8) or in the "Edit Interface Settings" dialog for the
 interface in Wireshark 1.8 and later. "

 => bug invalid
