First day installing Kali linux, trying to work with Aircrack-ng and for some reason it's failing when running this command:

sudo airmon-ng start

It keeps giving me this error message:

ERROR adding monitor mode interface: command failed: Operation not supported (-95)

Any ideas?

[misterx]

what is the complete output of airmon-ng.

FYI, just giving an error message will never help, people always need context.

[syworks]

you did not even state the interface to use..
you should read up on http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=airmon-ng

I am also getting the same error message.
I put the command airmon-ng start wlan0

The fact it cannot determine the driver most likely means it's a vendor driver and it is well known that vendors don't provide monitor mode in their driver.

If there is any mac80211 driver available for that device, you need to use it to be able to use monitor mode.
