wireless device not getting PHY address

Question

I have the TP Link tl-wn822n ver. C (realtek chipset) wireless adapter and I am running Kali Linux from a live cd. After many hours trying to get around these problematic drivers, I managed to get them to work.

Issues

So now I can connect to the internet, but when I run the airmon-ng command the interface of the adapter does not show up.
When I run the airmon-zc command I get the interface as wlan1 but the PHY field is null so I can't get a monitor interface with airmon-ng start wlan1 command.

Any suggestions on how I can assign it manually maybe?

You need to run:

ifconfig wlan0mon down
iwconfig wlan0mon mode monitor
ifconfig wlan0mon up

After you run these commands, airodump-ng wlan0mon will work.
