You can replace the wifi hardware or use USB wifi. See sticky post in the network forum.

i don't really want to replace my intel ac that's inside my laptop however i want to purchase a good usb adapter that supports mon0 mode (monitering mode) so which one do you recommend me to buy ? and does any Broadcom usb work ?

Search for USB WiFi adapters that have OS X drivers. Warning: the interface is generally not good, and USB wifi usually negatively affects stability.

What do you mean "standard one"?

It is critical you use a config.plist that is appropriate for your hardware.

Note: 
The discrete graphics capability in a switched dual-GPU configuration is not supported with OS X on hacks. Best you can do is disable the discrete part with SSDT/DSDT patches.

Because of that, you'll only be able to use HD4600. I think it is relatively obvious which config.plist you should use...

Worry about DSDT/SSDT patching later.

All the config.plist files, linked indirectly from post #4, are for laptops: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config... Thus the name of the github repo ('OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config')
