How to use WiFi with internal card while USB is in monitor mode?

:confused:
I am attempting to use my external USB wireless adapter (ALFA AWUS036NH) in monitor mode while still using my internal card (Intel Wireless 7265).

However, when typing "airmon-ng check kill", it kills my interwebs.

Code:

---

root@kali:~# airmon-ng check kill

Killing these processes:

  PID Name
 9668 wpa_supplicant
11901 avahi-daemon-ch

root@kali:~# airmon-ng start wlan1

phy2        wlan1        rt2800usb        Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070

                (mac80211 monitor mode vif enabled for [phy2]wlan1 on [phy2]wlan1mon)
                (mac80211 station mode vif disabled for [phy2]wlan1)

Is there a way to only use my external card for monitor mode, and my internal card only for WiFi?

Thanks

Reboot and connect to the Internet using wlan0.
Then run:

Code:

---

airmon-ng start wlan1
airodump-ng wlan1mon

What happens. This is what works for me on my laptop.

Same here i just run

airmon-ng start wlan1

then if the internet goes off i just use

sudo service network-manager start or restart

then i double check with

sudo airmon-ng to see if its still on monitor mode but the usb internal stays on wifi

Simply don't use check kill (that stops network manager)
with kali rolling there is no need to use check kill, use airmon-ng to start monitor mode on the interface you want, you will remain connected with the other one.
