In the old days, receiving and sending management frames required a monitor mode interface. You needed one interface running in master mode for standard traffic and another one for authentication, keys management, etc. The second one didn't require any specific API; it was accessed using a standard Linux socket.This method is still supported by nl80211 driver as a fallback.

I would configure my Rapsberry Pi B to create a WiFi network in bridge mode (without DHCP daemon on raspberry).
I followed this Guide Use Your Raspberry Pi as WiFi Bridge.
My wlan adtpater is Alpa AWUS036H and this is lsusb output:
I configured Hostapd ( /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf) with this settings:
When i run $ hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf this is the output:
Why my Wlan adapter can't start in master mode? Is the driver correct?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Why my Wlan adapter can't start in master mode?
Not all wifi adapters are built for this purpose, and 'Operation not supported' implies this is one of them.
This archived post from the linux wireless mail list a few years supports that:
I own an Alfa AWUS036H network adapter using the rtl8187 driver [...] which apparently requires master mode to be enabled in the driver. The page http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/rtl8187 states: not working yet: AP/Master mode
What means yet? Is it planned to add master mode support in the near future?
What means yet? Is it planned to add master mode support in the near future?
In the case of the RTL8187L, which is the chip in your Alfa device, it means never. That chip only has a single hardware transmit queue and the work of getting the high-priority traffic, such as beacons, transmitted at the correct time would be much more than it would be worth.
To summarize: You are out of luck, that device cannot be used as an access point.

Nl80211 Could Not Configure Driver Mode Kali
goldilocks is right, your chipset is not supported. If you decide to obtain a new wireless adapter, I invite you to check this wiki page listing essential options provided by various WIFI chipsets. The capability required by
hostapd
is called AP (short for Access Point). For example, take a look at your current chipset, RTL8187:Personally, I use adapters with Ralink chipset, as you can see almost all chipsets from them support AP mode.
