my usb wireless adapter (RTL8188SU Chipset) does not support monitor mode... or so i think.
im wondering if there is any way for me to patch it or do something which can allow me to use with aircrack-ng suite.
attached below are some additional information and please let me know if more information is needed.
thanks!

Well, you'll need a mac80211 driver. If Phy says 'null' then I would say it is not mac80211 and it's a vendor driver (and they NEVER, EVER support monitor mode out of the box).
