In otherwords, I don't know all the technical details.

Do this to put your card into monitor mode if airmon-ng doesn't work:

Code:
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
ifconfig wlan0 up
Notice that the first and third command are iFconfig, the second one is iWconfig. If you use ifconfig instead of iwconfig it'll just give you an error. I never used iwconfig instead of ifconfig, so I'm not sure what it does. Also, I'm pretty sure you need to be root to do it.
