What specific hardware do you have?
What kernel version do you have?
What specific command were you using to create the second interface?
What are the "software interface modes" and "valid interface
combinations" sections output from "iw phy0 info"?

It's certainly possible and supported with iwlwifi, but it depends on
specific hardware, the driver, etc.
