When I switch to monitor mode wifi connection lost and no traffic goes through airodump. Does it means my chipset not support monitor mode or do I have to get another external one so one will be used to connect to wifi and another ti sniff in monitor mode?

02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 32)
I use airmon-ng to switch into monitor mode like so. And after I switched I lose Internet connection
root@kali:/home/kali# airmon-ng check kill
Killing these processes:

When I switch to monitor mode output of ifconfig:

Then I finally try run airodump-ng which gives nothing at all, no traffic, empty table. Also tested with wireshark, still no traffic and no internet connection
