Well, WN722N V2 chipset doesn't supports monitor mode, but assuming that yours is a V2, (since you used https://github.com/mfruba/kernel) i'm gonna try to help.

First of all bring the interface down:

Code:

sudo ifconfig wlanx down

(where x could be 1 or 0)
Then:

Code:

sudo iwconfig wlan1 mode monitor

Now check with: iwconfig

Also virtualized machines use an emulated network adapter, so you should try with a live usb and see if it works.

Good luck

i already installed this driver but when i plug adapter it's appear this message :

Code:

the specified device is claimed by another driver(rtl8188eu) on the host operating system. 
The device might be in use.To continue, the device will first be disconnected from its current driver.

also i contunie and tried again but unfortunately doesn't work.
