It looks like enabling monitor mode for Broadcom wireless drivers on Ubuntu 14.04 can be tricky, especially with the bcmwl-kernel-source package. The proprietary Broadcom driver (wl) does not support monitor mode, which might be causing the issue. Some users have tried alternative drivers like b43, but compatibility varies depending on the chipset. https://www.humantodog.com
