Any ideas ?

Yeah, like itallushrt said, it is unix w/ a nice gui on top.
There are a few instances where you'll run into trouble.. The most notable instance is with Apple's airport card and the card slot in the ibooks.
The Airport driver framework is private. The maker of Macstumbler had to reverse engineer the scanning procedures just to get that to work -- forget about monitor mode.
The ibook card slot is not pcbus compliant, so you can't plug in any other pcmcia card (except the airport card) and expect it to work.
Basically, forget about using 'kismet' and 'bsdairtools' with Mac OS X.
