i downloaded the dirver from http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/drivers/2008_0506_RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.1.0.1.tar.bz2

i installed it following these instructions

Thanks for the help
but finaly after the 4th day of hard working i found the solution :)!!!!!
it was the rt73 driver which i downloaded it didn't support monitoring mode so i searched for another one and this link worked fine http://antirez.com/files/rt73-antirez-1.0.3.6-1.tar.gz and i followed the instruction on this page http://antirez.com/page/rt73.html
