Not able to get card into Monitor mode

[Tritium]

I am trying to get my TPLink TL-WN722N to enter monitor mode using airmon-ng.

I believe I've done everything correctly but it's giving me a weird monitor device, not mon0, it's wlan1mon.

Running Kali 2.0 Live USB with Persistence.

The copy from my terminal will likely be able to explain this better. (I removed MAC addresses)

Could someone please help me figure out why I can't get monitor mode working?

Thank you!

I ended up doing ifconfig wlan0 down then up like that post said to do.

At that time I was using "wlan1monmonmon" as my monitor interface, haha.

Trying it according to that post in a second, no doubt it will work.

Thank you again!

Edit: There is no need for airmon-ng using this method.
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor <---- puts card in monitor mode(note the w in iWconfig)
ifconfig wlan0 up
