After struggling a bit with the compiler, was able to finally
make it and it works properly now and it turns into monitor mode straight ahead with
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
Since my kernel version was up to date, the code which had to be compiled needed some changes. For example:
in the Makefile uncomment:
EXTRA_CFLAGS += -Wno-error=date-time # Fix compile error on gcc 4.9 and later
changed:
CONFIG_POWER_SAVING = y
into:
CONFIG_POWER_SAVING = n
Also made some changes in the code after each compile error I was getting.
