I think you should check your device name with iwconfig command. For example, in my case, it's wlp0s20u2.

@k0ur0x it was not that case bro. my iwconfig showed wlan0... @saikumar41, i did it. I deleted the previous build, git clone the kimocoder/rtl8188eus.git(cuz it already contained the fix with the line EXTRA_CFLAGS += -Wno-incompatible-pointer-types on Makefile), then i updated also os_intfs.c and wifi.h with the lines specified by luka-j https://github.com/quickreflex/rtl8188eus/pull/12. Then on issuing the command iw dev wlan0 set type monitor u should see no more errors, when verifyingthe iwconfig u should see auto mode.Hope this works also for you.

Had the same issue, installed this driver instead: https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8188eus/ Aircrack driver works good in monitor mode.
