I have this problem with Kali Linux on VirtualBox. I have a USB network card:
root@kali:~# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8812AU 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN Adapter
I tried all week to install many drivers, but I still get the same error:
root@kali:~# airmon-ng start wlan0
PHY Interface Driver Chipset
phy0 wlan0 rtl8812au Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8812AU
802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN Adapter cat: /sys/class/ieee80211/phy0/device/net/wlan0mon/type: No such file or directory
Newly created monitor mode interface wlan0mon is *NOT* in monitor
mode. Removing non-monitor wlan0mon interface...
WARNING: unable to start monitor mode, please run "airmon-ng check kill"
I tried airmon-ng check kill. Not working. Any ideas how to find good drivers?

Btw, most of the opensource realtek drivers in the kernel are crap. Some of them work, some of them not, but all of them is crap. I am s*ing with an rtl8172u (from belkin), it works only in security-less Managed mode. Generally with wifi cards, particularly with usb-based or realtek ones, often the chipset simply doesn't allow the monitor or master modes. If it allows, then often the driver doesn't allow. Why the heck they couldn't solve it with full OS-side control, nobody on the world can say it.................... well really I could, but it would be moderated out...

I think I've got it.
Use: https://github.com/kimocoder/rtl8812au
git clone git@github.com:kimocoder/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl8812au
git checkout v5.1.5
chmod +x dkms-install.sh
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
Now ignore airmon-ng and set the monitor yourself.
(In my case wlx00c0ca96172e is your average wlan1)
ip link set wlx00c0ca96172e down
iw dev wlx00c0ca96172e set type monitor
ip link set wlx00c0ca96172e up
Now airodump-ng wlx00c0ca96172e works for me

I have Kali as a VirtualBox VM and I installed the AWUS036ACH driver with
apt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
After that, run the following commands to activate the monitor mode:
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
ifconfig wlan0 up

Btw, most of the opensource realtek drivers in the kernel are crap. Some of them work, some of them not, but all of them is crap. I am s*ing with an rtl8172u (from belkin), it works only in security-less Managed mode. Generally with wifi cards, particularly with usb-based or realtek ones, often the chipset simply doesn't allow the monitor or master modes. If it allows, then often the driver doesn't allow. Why the heck they couldn't solve it with full OS-side control, nobody on the world can say it.................... well really I could, but it would be moderated out...
