Comment # 1 on bug 11487 from 
You can create the following file as a workaround to prevent NetworkManager
from flooding your logs:

/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/ifaceignore.conf 
[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=interface-name:phy0.mon

In my case, as soon as phy0.mon is created automatically, my normal wlan0
interface is disabled and I get disconnected from the wireless network. After
closing Wireshark/QT I have to remove the monitor mode interface manually (iw
dev phy0.mon del) to make wlan0 working again.

The root cause of the issue could be NetworkManager, but it would be great if
enabling monitor mode on startup would be optional.
