Can not set my wifi interface to monitor mode

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?

Re: Can not set my wifi interface to monitor mode

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

Re: Can not set my wifi interface to monitor mode

Enter command "iw list"

Example output:
    Supported interface modes:
         * IBSS
         * managed
         * AP
         * AP/VLAN
         * monitor
         * P2P-client
         * P2P-GO
         * P2P-device

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