HI,
I try to use owl with an wifi card that I know support monitor mode.
Below the commands used:

# iw phy `iw dev wlan0 info | gawk '/wiphy/ {printf "phy" $2}'` interface add mon0 type monitor
# iw mon0 info
Interface mon0
        ifindex 11
        wdev 0x100000004
        addr 00:e0:4c:4b:bb:76
        type monitor
        wiphy 1
        txpower 20.00 dBm
#
# owl -i mon0
--omitted output --
14:40:16 ERROR: Error while receiving via netlink: Operation not supported
14:40:16 ERROR: Could not put device in monitor mode: mon0
14:40:16 ERROR: could not initialize core

I used this interface with various kali tools and the monitor mode work:

# aireplay-ng --test mon0
