Monitor Mode doesn't work in Kali 2.0

For the last year or so I have been using this exact setup with Kali 1.0. Everything worked fine with Wireshark. Now, when I am connected to a Wi-Fi access point my card REFUSES to stay in monitor mode. I have tried the following.

Scenario 1:

Live boot Kali 2.0

Open terminal

$airmon-ng start wlan1 (a USB wireless adapter I have used for sniffing in the past)

output is now wlan1mon (I understand why it outputs this I read the Kali docs)

Connect to my home network

Open Wireshark and listen to wlan1mon

I only see Broadcast ARP requests and traffic from my machine

Scenario 2:

Live boot Kali 2.0

Open terminal

ifconfig wlan1 down

iwconfig wlan1 mode monitor

ifconfig wlan1 up

Connect to my home network

Open wireshark and listen to wlan1

I only see Broadcast ARP requests and traffic from my machine

I'm not sure what it's problem is.

In scenario 1, after 4th point:
try these:

ifconfig wlan1mon down

iwconfig wlan1mon0 mode monitor

ifconfig wlan1mon up

Then to test and sniff the network:

airodump-ng wlan1mon

I will attempt this the next time I have that system booted. Have you tried this yet? It seems suspect that it would work. wlan1mon is the name of the interface not wlan1mon0. I think this will result in a interface not found error.

There are no processes conflicting. Using monitor mode while connected to a network is the only way to see packets from other machines...
