I have a USB wifi card that I cannot get to go into monitor mode for some reason. I am running kali linux on a raspberry pi. Here's the necessary info:

If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them!

Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :

I have spent a lot of time googling and searching for an answer, but I cannot seem to get this working.
Tried this:

Didn't work due to an error:

Clearly, this card supports monitor mode. No idea why I can't get it to work.
Help?
