I think problem occurs when I enable "cfg80211 wireless extensions compatibility" but unless enabling it i cannot see the wifi adapter in airmon-ng


if CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT=y = inner WLAN wont work
if CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT=n = usb wifi adapter wont work with aircrack, reaver

getprop:
[wifi.interface]: [wlan0]
[wlan.driver.ath]: [0]
[wlan.driver.config]: [/data/misc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini]
[wlan.driver.status]: [unloaded]


here are some documentations about it but they are too complex for me :
https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-93603
PaNiC Random Rant (or how we used to call it: .plan): Porting WiFi drivers to Android
as fas as I understand from what I read I should recompile wlan.ko after building new kernel but i dont know how
