Granted, I havn't tried this since installing 10.4.5, but in 10.4.4 I was able to enable passive mode while the airport was running. I could be connected to a network, surfing the web, load kisMAC, and it would switch out, and then when I shut down kisMAC it would connect back to the network. The problem I had, was that it didn't work everytime... sometimes I had the problem people are describing where the airport would kill itself requiring a reboot to fix.
