Same driver I've been using. The driver is from 2013 and when I compile it as a module and load it, no monitor mode and when I unplug the adapter, it locks up the kernel tight and I have to reboot.

i think i figured it out..

before running rpi-update and I had to mount boot

mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot

running now, will report back if it works
