Please grab the latest CT 4.2 kernel, I rebased the last 10 or so patches a day or two ago:

# This first command blows away the first 20 commits, so if you have
# added your own patches, then you need to deal with that properly.

git reset --hard HEAD~20
git pull

The configs I use are in ./configs/

In particular, the patch I added to enable HT80 IBSS was this:
