I am trying to change my wifi interface and I continue to get the output
When I imputed the commands
sudo ifconfig wlp3s0 down
sudo iwconfig wlp3s0 mode monitor
I get the output
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlp3s0 ; Operation not supported.
I'm wondering if it is a problem with the chip that I have or if this has something to do with a driver issue?

Details of the card and its capabilities and the driver you have installed would be helpful at this point...

Enter command "iw list"
Example output:
Supported interface modes:

If the result doesn't include "monitor" then you need another wireless card
