I can't get that to work.  I get:

# airmon-ng start wlan0
Interface	Chipset		Driver
wlan3			ath5k_pci - [phy0]
wlan0		Ralink 2573 USB	rt73usb - [phy1]/usr/sbin/airmon-ng: line 338:
/sys/class/ieee80211/phy1/add_iface: No such file or directory
mon0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
(monitor mode enabled on mon0)

It looks like I'm supposed to have /sys/class/ieee80211/phy1/add_iface
which isn't there.  I've tried with net.wlan0 started and stopped.
