Have you tried with wireless-testing git tree? That's the version I'm
using in my ath9k+hostapd tests and I don't see this issue there. You
could also test whether you can manually add a monitor interface with iw
(and if not, whether iw provides more detailed error message).

See following for more information on iw:
