Monitor Mode

Interface can be both identified as wlan0 or wlp1s0. It may depend on how much wireless devices are connected.
Use the command to list all the available interfaces:

ip address

Use these steps to enter monitor mode.

Init System Command
runit sv stop NetworkManager
OpenRC rc-service NetworkManager stop
SystemD systemctl stop NetworkManager.service 
ip link set <interface> down
iw dev <interface> set type monitor
ip link set <interface> name <new_interface_name> # optional

Note: new_interface_name can be anything such as [wlan0mon, mon0, monitor0].

Frame injection test may be performed with.
(after kernel v5.2 scanning is slow, run a scan or simply an airodump-ng first!)

aireplay-ng -9 <interface>

Managed Mode

Use these steps to disable monitor mode. (not possible if your device's MAC address is added to unmanaged-devices variable under "NetworkManager.conf")

Init System Command
runit sv start NetworkManager
OpenRC rc-service NetworkManager start
SystemD systemctl start NetworkManager.service 
iw dev <interface> set type managed
ip link set <interface> name <old_interface_name> # optional
ip link set <interface> up

Note: Most of the cases the old_interface_name is wlan0.

If the adapter still refuses to go back, try:

Init System Command
runit sv restart NetworkManager
OpenRC rc-service NetworkManager restart
SystemD systemctl restart NetworkManager.service
