I have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with a Realtek RTL8187SE Driver, RTL8180/RTL8185 chipset with aircrack-ng 1.1 and every time i enter "airmon-ng start wlan0". It says "monitor mode enabled" instead of "monitor mode enabled on mon0". I checked ifconfig to see if it made another interface, but all I got was "wlan0", "lo", and "eth0". How can I fix this?

You don't mention your chipset, driver, kernel and airmon-ng version, which would have made it easier to help you.
Not all drivers create mon0 for monitor mode, some enable it on the original interface (wlan0 in your case). Run airmon-ng check to check the status.
To confirm that your card is in monitor mode, run the command iwconfig. You can then confirm the mode is “monitor” and the interface name.
You could also run airmon-ng check kill, which will cause all processes that use the interface to exit.
For the mac80211 drivers, the monitor mode interface is typically “mon0”. For ieee80211 madwifi-ng drivers, it is typically “ath0”. For other drivers, the interface name may vary.

I upgraded to Aircrack-ng 1.2 beta 2 and mon0 was created. – kprovost7314 – 2014-12-10T15:54:45.920
You should be able to run the utilities with wlan0 rather than mon0 if it didn't create mon0 – Paul – 2014-09-02T22:33:35.953
That didn't work. – kprovost7314 – 2014-09-06T21:37:10.823
