I would like build msm8974pro kali nethunter kernel for xperia devices, but in the offensive-security github page teachs to modify the kernel but no teachs how to add drivers.

When i type:
make clean
make menuconfig
shown all usb wireless drivers (rtl8187, etc...) but if i type:
make clean
make shinano_sirius_defconfig
make menuconfig
not shown usb wireless drivers :confused:
Why?

Wel, for activate Realtek and others usb wireless drivers, must be activate "Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211)" as it says offensive-security github page:

Cool, I'm glad you figured it out. Surely this will help others in the future.
How would I go about adding support for rt5372 in the latest nethunter build? I can see the device in lsusb but it doesn't show up in ifconfig, iwconfig or airmon-ng, i suspect it need support in the kernel. Can anyone direct me in the right path?

Yeah, read the thread... that link the OP post is really useful for this.
