   finally something I know about. we allways use plaster lath,

   secured with stacons w/ fender washers on brick or block

   or p.a.f. on concrete--- besure lath is installed w/ the cups facing up

   and to the outside. d.w.

   Just attach something to the brick, like stucco wire or metal lath or brick ties, using tapcons or the like. I did a project this last summer where I was building out the stone veneer a lot, and we put rebar stakes in the old stone buttress(probably 2 or 3 stakes per square foot) and rebar stakes in the back of the new stones that were being veneered on. Build up the new stone a foot or two, then backfill with concrete.
   By the way, the latest Fine Homebuilding has a little article on stone veneer- it would be helpful if you've never set stone before.
