now it is, i already found it digging through the makefiles:
(it's just the dependency missing in the makefile)

root at CubieNAS:~ :) dmesg | grep -i brc

it does not matter if 'ap' or 'ibss', the dev 'wlan0' keep down.
when doing 'ip link set dev wlan0 up' and 'if dev wlan0 scan' i get
a large/fine list, so it receives...

but when bringing the interface up the kernel says:
IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready

and yes:
oot at CubieNAS:~ :) ip address show dev wlan0
