[EXPERIMENTAL BUILD] NetHunter Kernel Release

RISK WARNING & IMPORTANT NOTES

• Experimental Build Status: This kernel is an experimental build. Use it at your own risk, as system instability or bugs may occur.
• SELinux Requirement & Security Risk: To use Kali NetHunter tools and features, SELinux must be set to Permissive. Running SELinux in Permissive mode lowers standard Android security protections. You can manage and toggle SELinux status (between Permissive and Enforcing) using the KernelSU-Next Manager app.
• No .ko Module Support: This kernel DOES NOT SUPPORT loading external .ko kernel modules (insmod/modprobe). All supported adapter drivers are compiled directly into the kernel (=y). You do not need—and cannot load—external .ko files.
