For packet injection to work, the kernel driver for the Wi-Fi chipset
should allow packet injection.
I think that for most mobile phones, the default kernel driver for the
Wi-Fi chipset does not have
support either for packet injection or monitor mode.

The MX4 Ubuntu Edition has its source at
https://github.com/meizuosc/m75 and it is possible to recompile (and
install on the phone).
The question is, what changes in the source (if any) are needed in
order to support those Wi-Fi features?
