I was unable to bring up onboard WiFi to monitor mode on OPI+ with Kali 2.0 loboris img :

cat: /sys/class/ieee80211/phy0/device/net/wlan0mon/type: No such file or directory
Newly created monitor mode interface wlan0mon is *NOT* in monitor mode.
Removing non-monitor wlan0mon interface...
I believe the 8189es driver is not compatible. Is there a way to rebuild it with the monitor mode support?
I was also trying to rebuild the driver for external USB Wifi key RTL-8187 from the scratch

The persistent kernel-headers related issue doesn't allow to build it so far.
Could any suggestions / solutions be given for this unexpected problem?
