Those corrupted frames are coming from the wireless LAN card as far as I
know. I'm not familiar with kismet operation details, but if it is
changing channels often, this could be causing lot of corrupted RX'ed
frames that are received while the channel is being changed. Monitor
mode seems to pass such corrupted frames to the driver and the driver
prints that warning. If you want to get rid of it, you can comment it
out in prism2_rx_80211() function so that the driver just silently drops
such frames.
