To my knowledge, none of the Realtek, non-mac80211 drivers work in monitor mode; 
however, if you think they do, then you can get such drivers from realtek.com. 
Please be aware that there is a definite possibility that such drivers will not 
build on recent kernels. In addition, they are unlikely to work on 64-bit 
kernels. I keep sending patches to them, but such changes seem to not be 
implemented.
