Wireshark monitor mode not working

Distro : Arch Linux x86_64

Hi I'm trying to capture packets with Wireshark in monitor mode.

I ran Wireshark with noraml user and selected interface wlp1s0.
When I pushed the start button, the following error occured:

Code:

Unknown message from dumpcap, try to show it as a string: Can't delete monitor interface mon1 (SIOCGIFINDEX: Bad file descriptor).

Please delete manually.

I thought that was permission problem, so I ran Wire shark using sudo but still the same error message box.

Any ideas??

Its possible that your interface does not support promiscuous mode.

Okay.. do you know how to check which modes does the interfaces support?

My interface do support promiscuous mode
because Wireshark captures packets in promiscuous mode by default.

Also there appears kernel message.

Code:

[Jun 8 14:20] device wlp1s0 entered promiscuous mode

And my interface also seems to support monitor mode.
The problem is I just can't start capturing in monitor mode.
