The kindle wifi chip supports three modes, iBSS (for adhoc), Master (for ap hosting), and Normal. I would think that master mode would have monitor or advanced functions. Try /etc/init.d/wifi stop, then /etc/init.d/wifi --mode=ap
Also, do /etc/init.d/wifid stop before putting the device in ap mode so the kindle doesn't auto reset the wifi module. In ap-mode do what you can. However, kismet is not ported to kindle and the kindle wifi drivers afaik is not supported by kismet.
